Pancreatic stellate shaped cells were isolated using a Nycodenz gradient, cultured on plastic, and examined by phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy, and by immunostaining for desmin, GFAP, and α ...

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 ...

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 ...

and hepatic stellate cells (which activate during liver injury to produce scar tissue). “Given the complexity of the cells' shapes, even modern cell-segmentation technology can struggle to catch ...

This study aims to identify gene expression patterns specific to T2D pancreatic islet cells and to explore the potential role of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) in T2D progression through regulatory ...

Histopathology showed a tumour consisting of spindle-shaped and stellate-shaped cells with widely separated myxoid mucoidy stroma, suggestive of intraosseous myxoma. At 2 years follow-up, there were ...
