Abstract
It has been demonstrated that the liver remarkably alter its tissue structures during regeneration, and various types of liver stem or progenitor cells locating in specific areas in the liver tissue contribute to regeneration. Therefore, it is important to analyze the dynamic rearrangement of the liver tissue structures in 3D for better understanding the process and mechanism of liver regeneration. Here we describe a macroscopic analysis method to visualize the whole 3D structure of the vasculatures and the biliary tree, which are dynamically remodeled during regeneration, and a microscopic analysis method to visualize detailed structures at the cellular level, which can compensate what cannot be detected in the macroscopic analysis.
