The outcome of liver injury is dictated by the effectiveness of repair. Successful repair (i.e., regeneration) results in replacement of dead epithelial cells with healthy epithelial cells, and reconstructs normal hepatic structure and function. Liver regeneration is known to involve replication of

## Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are similar to normal stem cells in their ability to selfβrenew and to generate large populations of more differentiated descendants. In contrast to the hierarchical organization that is presumed to be the prevalent mode of normal tissue homeostasis, phenotypic
Port-site metastasis (PSM) following minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is discussed and four points are addressed: 1) the occurrence of PSM; 2) the occurrence of PSM as part of distant metastasis, and the need for more studies to confirm that it can occur purely as implantation metastasis; 3) the pre
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. It is believed that epithelialβmesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs during the development and progression of cancer; however, the correlation between tobacco smoking and EMT remains to be elucidated. ## METHODS. Cells from the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma cell line A54
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is closely tied to the lipid metabolism of liver cells. Here we identify the triglyceride-synthesizing enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT1) as a key host factor for HCV infection. DGAT1 interacts with the viral nucleocapsid core and is required for the tr
