Aging reduces proliferative capacities of liver by switching pathways of C/EBP(alpha) growth arrest

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on liver specific protein C/EBP(alpha) which arrests hepatocyte proliferation via cyclin dependent kinase inhibition. The authors demonstrate that aging leads liver-specific pathways of C/EBP(alpha) growth arrest to E2F transcription repression.
