Role of stellate cells in alcoholic liver fibrosis
Many different diseases and toxins can cause liver damage, which is diffi cult to treat and often leads to the development of liver fi brosis or even cirrhosis. The key event in this process is the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). During such activation, HSCs undergo a dramatic transform...
