Description
Summary:Abstract As a research hotspot in the field of regenerative medicine, hepatocyte regeneration has great potential in the treatment of liver diseases. This paper comprehensively summarizes the diverse sources of hepatocyte regeneration and its complex influencing factors, and deeply discusses the typical mechanism. According to the existing research, we observed that Wnt signaling pathway and Notch signaling pathway can play a synergistic role in the process of hepatocyte regeneration. So we further analyzed the crosstalk between Wnt and Notch signal pathway and the cross mechanism with TGF-β, YAP/TAZ pathway during regeneration. Despite the remarkable progress in the study of liver regeneration at the cellular and molecular levels, the comprehensive understanding of the fine regulation of influencing factors and the interaction between mechanisms still needs to be deepened. This paper aims to systematically analyze the interaction between influencing factors and classical mechanisms of hepatocyte regeneration by integrating multi-group data and advanced bioinformatics methods, so as to provide feasible ideas for the treatment of liver diseases and lay a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of regenerative medicine. It is believed that focusing on the rational development of innovative means such as inducing gene tendentiousness expression and anti-aging therapy, and in-depth analysis of the complex interactive network between hepatocyte regeneration mechanisms are expected to open up a new road for the development of more effective treatment strategies for liver diseases.
