The cellular localization of AURKA was determined through double immunofluorescence staining in human fibrotic liver tissues and primary mouse hepatic stellate cells. RNA interference and AURKA ...

Expression of the receptor RAGE in biliary epithelial cells (BECs) is essential for mounting a ductular reaction (DR) in response to chronic liver injury and promoting liver fibrosis via ...

Background and aims: Thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) is an important activator of latent transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) but little is known of the expression patterns and functions of TSP-1 in liver ...

Additionally, QZRG granules suppressed the proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that QZRG granules may exert anti-fibrotic effects by downregulating ...

The liver is largely comprised of hepatocytes, but Kupffer cells, endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells are also present. A perfusion-independent method to isolate ultrapure liver ...
