TY - JOUR AU - Spirli, Carlo AU - Strazzabosco, Mario PY - 2012 TI - Vascular endothelial growth factors in progenitor cells mediated liver repair JF - Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition; Vol 2, No 2 (April 08, 2013): HepatoBiliary Surgery and Nutrition Y2 - 2012 KW - N2 - Hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) are a bipotent cell population of the liver that may differentiate towards hepatocytes or cholangiocytes (1-3). HPC are mostly quiescent in normal livers while proliferate following liver injury. The activation of HPC results in mature hepatocytes or mature cholangiocytes or, in case of chronic damage, in the appearance of "reactive" cholangiocytes (2,3).
