Abstract

The liver has the unique capacity to regenerate, and up to 70% of the liver can be removed without detrimental consequences to the organism. Liver regeneration is a complex process involving multiple signaling networks and organs. Liver regeneration proceeds through three phases: the initiation phase, the growth phase, and the termination phase. Termination of liver regeneration occurs when the liver reaches a liver-to-body weight that is required for homeostasis, the so-called “hepatostat.” The initiation and growth phases have been the subject ofmany studies. Themolecular pathways that govern the termination phase, however, remain to be fully elucidated.
