Liver Regeneration Basic Mechanisms, Relevant Models and Clinical Applications

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Apte Udayan M.

Couverture de l’ouvrage Liver Regeneration

Liver Regeneration: Basic Mechanisms, Relevant Models and Clinical Applications presents cutting-edge information on liver regeneration research through an integrated, systems-wide perspective. The book addresses discoveries on hepatic progenitor cells, liver regeneration after chemical damage, and liver regeneration as a prime therapy for liver failure and disease.

By addressing the urgent need for translating basic research findings into clinically relevant modalities and potential therapeutic applications, the book provides the data needed to improve liver patient management.

Hundreds of full-color, graphic photographs and illustrations underline key elements and show researchers and students important aspects of liver transplantation, immunofluorescence, and other techniques used in liver regeneration.

Researchers in the area of liver biology

Dr. Apte is a toxicologist and a liver pathobiologists. His research is focused on mechanisms of liver regeneration, drug-induced liver injury, pathogenesis of liver cancer and effects of perfluorinated chemicals on the liver. Dr. Apte teaches toxicology to graduate students and medical students, and serves as a course director for two main toxicology courses in his department.

Dr. Apte is also a board certified toxicologist and is a member of the US EPA's Scientific Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC).
