Role of osteopontin in calcification in autoimmune pancreatitis.

abstract：:In toxic liver injury, proliferation of preexisting hepatocytes helps restore liver mass and function. While loss of liver mass per se stimulates hepatocyte proliferation, exogenous mitogens have a potential role in enhancing liver regeneration. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of the mitogen, tri...
