LPS/Bcl3/YAP1 Signaling Promotes Sox9⁺HNF4α⁺ Hepatocyte-Mediated Liver Regeneration after Hepatectomy

Employing a combination of chimeric lineage tracing, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry, the authors demonstrated that Sox9+HNF4α+ hepatocytes, generated by transition from mature hepatocytes, played an important role in the initial phase after partial hepatectomy.
