title: Attempts at autologous transplantation of sliced liver to the subcutaneous tissue.
abstract: Sliced rat liver was autologously transplanted to subcutaneous tissue. Morphology of the hepatocytes in transplants was investigated for up to 1 year after auto-transplantation; the effect of partial hepatectomy on the autografts was studied. Autografts with approximately one-tenth of the original weight were found alive in subcutaneous tissue for as much as 1 year after transplantation. Partial hepatectomy did not lead to greater weight.
