májregeneráció
Májregeneráció, or liver regeneration, is a biological process by which the liver repairs and regenerates itself after injury or damage. This process is crucial for maintaining liver function and overall health. The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, often restoring itself to its original size within a few weeks after partial hepatectomy, a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the liver.
Liver regeneration involves several key mechanisms. Firstly, hepatocytes, the primary liver cells, undergo proliferation and cell
Regeneration is not limited to hepatocytes. Other liver cell types, such as cholangiocytes and Kupffer cells,
Several factors influence liver regeneration. Age, gender, and the extent of liver damage are critical determinants.
Understanding liver regeneration is essential for developing strategies to treat liver diseases and improve patient outcomes.
