Objective  To review the regulation of liver regeneration factors. Methods  The literatures about liver regeneration related regulators in recent years were reviewed. Results  With further advancement of researches on regulators of liver regeneration in recent years, there were more therapies for treatment of liver-related diseases. Regulators play important roles in the process of liver regeneration, as one of which, cell growth factor plays an essential role in liver cell proliferation, such as the proper expression of TNF-α and IL-6 promoting liver cell proliferation, HGF, TGF-α, EGF, ALR, FS, and others motivating liver cell proliferation, while TGF-β and IL-1 physically terminating liver cell proliferation. Conclusion  By strengthening the studies on liver regeneration regulators, new methods may appear for treating liver-related diseases.
