Hepatic Fibrosis -- Role of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation
As noted above, stellate cell activation is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. Activation consists of 2 major phases: (1) initiation (also called apreinflammatory stage) and (2) perpetuation ...
Researchers identify Lhx2 as key gene in hepatic stellate cells regulating liver regeneration and fibrosis
A research team has identified the transcription factor Lhx2 (LIM homeobox protein 2) as a key regulator in hepatic stellate cells. Lhx2 was found to simultaneously promote liver regeneration and ...
