Mechanisms of liver-specific gene expression.
Significant advances in the field of hepatocyte-specific gene expression have been made during the past year. Several new transcription factors have been cloned and partially characterized. Analyses of the promoter regions of several factors have also been initiated and Drosophila homologs for two of these factors have been found, opening the way for studies on development.
