Part Four of Whitehead Institute&rsquo\;s Spring into Science Series \;
\n\nKristin Knouse\, a Fellow at Whitehead Institute\, will be discussing the work in her laboratory aimed at understanding what endows the liver with a unique regenerative ability\, with the ultimate goal of one day conferring this capacity to other organs in the setting of injury or disease. \;The inability of organs to renew themselves and the loss of differentiated cells underlies numerous diseases across organ systems&mdash\;including heart attack\, stroke\, and neurodegeneration. However\, the liver\, in contrast to most organs\, has a remarkable ability to regenerate itself after various forms of injury. While the liver&rsquo\;s regenerative ability has been appreciated for decades\, it is still unclear why the liver can do this while other organs cannot.
