Table 3 Molecular pathways and biomarkers in liver regeneration
| Pathway/factor | Main functional role | Clinical or experimental marker | Relevance in regeneration |
| TNF-α/IL-6 | Initiation phase, hepatocyte priming | Serum TNF-α, IL-6 | Predicts early regenerative activity |
| HGF/Met | Proliferation, cell signaling | Serum HGF | Predicts regenerative capacity |
| Wnt/β-catenin | Proliferation, stem cell activation | Nuclear β-catenin | Regulates proliferation vs differentiation |
| mTORC1 | Controls hypertrophy vs hyperplasia | Phospho-S6K, mTOR gene | Promotes protein synthesis for regeneration |
| MicroRNAs (e.g., miR-21, miR-122) | Transcriptional modulation | Circulating miRNA signatures | Biomarker for regeneration or injury |
