This book features the latest research findings regarding liver structure and function. Covering liver biology from the molecular level to groups of liver cells, it explains how groups of heptocytes interact in similar microenvironments, and examines other important cell types found in the liver. Each chapter includes brief science reviews, which provide essential background information to allow readers to better grasp the subject matter within the chapter.
