Transport processes have elicited increasing interest from hepatologists. Complex
methodology has been developed to characterize transport systems and to identify and …

We have recently found the presence of human hepa‐tocyte growth factor in sera of patients
with fulminant hepatic failure and have purified human hepatocyte growth factor from plasma …

We previously showed that hepatic cells proliferate in obstructive jaundice alone without
partial hepatectomy and found that external biliary drainage for obstructive jaundice …

Background Some adult stem cells persist in adult tissue; however, we do not know how to
stimulate stem cells in adults to heal injuries. Liver growth factor (LGF) is a biliprotein with …

Liver growth factor (LGF) is an endogenous albumin-bilirubin complex with antihypertensive
