Are hepatic proliferation and angiogenesis markers increased after portal deprivation in rats : a study of molecular , histological and radiological changes?
Portal deprivation in rats induces a sustained increase in intrahepatic markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, proliferation, and fibrosis.
TGFβ-depletion during expansion improves the re-differentiation capacity of chondrocytes and inhibits hypertrophy. These results indicate the importance of the expansion medium composition to improve chondrogenic re-differentiation and to inhibit hypertrophy.
