肝脏是个再生能力旺盛的脏器。德岛大学医学部酶病理教室(市原明教授)的中村敏一副教授等的研究小组,在世界上首次从大白鼠的血小板中,分离出促进肝细胞再生的蛋白质,并精制成功。将来如能确定其构造式并进行大量生产,那么这种分子量5万的强碱性蛋白质,除可用于治疗肝病,还可能成为解释癌变机制的线索。如将大白鼠的肝脏切去三分之二,约24小时后, The liver is a regenerative organ. A team of professors such as Professor Nakamura NAKAMURA, a professor of pathology at Tokushima University Hospital (Professor Shimamoto Shima), succeeded in isolating the protein that promotes hepatocyte regeneration from the platelets of rats for the first time in the world. In the future, if its structure can be determined and mass-produced, this strong basic protein with a molecular weight of 50,000 can be used as a clue to explain the mechanism of carcinogenesis in addition to the treatment of liver diseases. Such as the rat’s liver cut off two-thirds, about 24 hours later,
