Pharmacological plasminogen reduction enhanced liver regeneration experimentally and clinically. siRNA-induced plasminogen deficiency promoted hepatocyte proliferation after partial hepatectomy in mice, contrasting genetic deficiency models. In the HeLiX trial, tranexamic acid reduced post-hepatectomy liver failure odds, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy.
