Cell turnover in the repopulated rat liver: distinct lineages for hepatocytes and the biliary epithelium

The dynamics of cell renewal in the normal adult liver remains an unresolved issue. We investigate the possible contribution of a common biliary precursor cell pool to hepatocyte turnover in the chimeric long-term repopulated rat liver. The retrorsine (RS)-based model of massive liver repopulation w...
