Acute hepatic radiation injury could lead to necrosis of hepatocytes, fatty degeneration and hepatic fibrosis. At the present, the gold standard test is liver biopsy. view more (2009-06-24)
Cathepsin B increases apoptosis in fulminant hepatic failure
The traditional view is that hepatocyte necrosis is the main feature of fulminant hepatic failure, but increasing evidence implicates a dominant role for hepatocyte apoptosis in this pathogenesis. view more (2009-03-20)
Is hepatic differentiation of embryonic stem cells induced by valproic acid and cytokines?
