- Abstract
Morphofunctional studies suggest that the liver, compared with other organs, ages fairly well. Its success is ascribable to its lasting ability to regenerate, even if the potential of the cells to replicate progressively declines with age. The aim of this study was to analyze some aspects of the early phases of liver regeneration, its capacity to mount a stress response, and the inflammatory response in the early stage of an acute injury.
