Abstract
Following massive hepatocyte ablation in zebrafish, biliary epithelial cells can extensively give rise to hepatocytes through liver progenitor cells (LPCs). The zebrafish liver injury model is an important system to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying LPC-driven liver regeneration. Here, we describe a chemical screening method using the zebrafish model for identifying small molecules that can modulate LPC-driven liver regeneration.
