Newer mitochondrial dynamics and their role of calcium signalling in liver regeneration

Liver regeneration is a crucial process involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair. Calcium signaling impact key pathways like hepatocyte growth factor-Met-tyrosine kinase (HGF-Met) transduction pathway, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and Ca-mediated nuclear SKHep1 cell proliferation pathway. Intracellular hepatocyte calcium stores are considered as base for the induction of ca-mediated regeneration process. Calcium signaling interplays with HGF, TGF-β, and NF-κB signaling, influence stem cell behavior and triggers MAPK cascade. The mitochondria calcium is impacting on liver rejuvenation by regulating apoptosis and cell division. In conclusion, it is stated that calcium-signaling holds promise for therapeutic liver interventions.
