| Description | The purpose of this review was to carry out an analysis of the liver regenerative process focusing on the molecular interactions involved in this process. The authors undertook a review of scientific publications with a focus on the liver regeneration.The cellular processes involved in liver regeneration require multiple systematic actions related to cytokines and growth factors. These interactions result in the initiation of mitogenic potential of the hepatocytes. The action of these modulators in the regenerative process require a processing in the extra-cellular matrix. Serines and metal proteins are responsible for the bio availability of cytokines and growth factors so that they can interact as receptors in the cellular membrane generating signaling events for the beginning and end of the liver regenerative process. The exact mechanism of interaction between cells, cytokines and growth factors is not well established yet. A series of ordered events that result in the hepatic tissue regeneration has been described. The better understanding of these interactions should provide a new approach of the treatment for liver diseases, aiming at inducing the regenerative process. |
