Which mechanism will play the dominant role in regenerative repair after chronic liver injury or inflammation?
Liver regeneration from progenitor cells.
In situations in which the proliferative capacity of hepatocytes is impaired, such as after chronic liver injury or inflammation, progenitor cells in the liver contribute to repopulation.
