[Migration of hepatocytes in liver cords during physiologic regeneration].

Distribution of mitoses and dead hepatocytes in the hepatic balk was investigated. A relative rate of the hepatocyte movement along the hepatic balk was calculated on the basis of this distribution. The direction and the rate of the hepatocyte movement along the hepatic balk were determined by measurement of the shift of the labelled cell peak a month after six thymidine-H3 injections.
