Division of Labor Within Regenerating Liver Maintains Metabolism
The liver has the ability to regenerate, even if 70% of its mass is removed. Researchers have found that It also keeps up its metabolic and toxin-removing work during regeneration, thanks to a subset of cells that expand their workload while the rest focus on multiplication.
