Abstract
Polyploidy is a common feature in normal hepatocytes, however, the pathophysiological function of hepatic hyperpolyploidy is unclear. Here, the authors show that genotoxic stress induces accumulation of hyperpolyploid hepatocytes around the centrilobular region of the liver, which may indicate the origin of preneoplastic formation.
