jpi{at}soton.ac.uk BACKGROUND Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are central to the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, both as a source of fibrillar collagens that characterise fibrosis and matrix ...

az.vub.ac.be Accumulating evidence suggests that stellate cells are involved in the regulation of the liver microcirculation and portal hypertension. Activated hepatic stellate cells have the ...

Activation of hepatic stellate cells is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. These perisinusoidal cells orchestrate an array of changes including degradation of the normal ECM of liver ...

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Oxide-ion conductors are important energy materials. Here, the authors found a tellurite-based oxygen ion conductor highlighting the interplay of secondary bond interactions and Grotthuss-like ...

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for primary liver cancer and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States for 2025 are: About 42,240 new cases (28,220 in men and 14,020 in women) will be ...

Separately, drinking damages liver cells trying to metabolize alcohol and can lead to additional fat buildup. The inflammation and scarring caused by excess fat may eventually lead to cirrhosis ...
