The fame of regeneration has been attributed to the liver ever since the era of Greek mythology,in which Prometheus’liver could grow back overnight against the daily predation of Zeus’eagle.Hepatectomy is the very basis of liver surgery including liver transplantation,and post-hepatectomy liver regeneration remains the center of interest for both clinicians and scientists.Novel tools for structural and functional assessment of liver regeneration have been constantly developed and validated,laying the groundwork for clinical management and scientific analysis(1).
