Abstract (original English)

The liver possesses a unique regenerative capacity, driven by mechanisms that extend beyond classical growth factor signaling. Recent studies underscore the importance of metabolic reprogramming, mitochondrial adaptation, and signaling metabolites in promoting tissue injury repair. Dynamic crosstalk between hepatocytes, non-parenchymal cells, and other organs governs the regenerative process. Spatial compartmentalization within the liver and systemic cues from adipose tissue, the pancreas, the gut, the brain, skeletal muscle, and other organs play critical roles in shaping regenerative outcomes. In this review we discuss how the liver's tissue microenvironment and inter-organ communication networks regulate liver regeneration, providing new insights into the complex biology underlying tissue repair.

What this study does not prove

  • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
