RNA Binding Proteins Control Transdifferentiation of Hepatic Stellate Cells into Myofibroblasts
Background/Aims: Myofibroblasts (MF) derived from quiescent nonfibrogenic hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the major sources of fibrous matrix in cirrhosis. Because many factors interact to regulate expansion and regression of MF-HSC populations, efforts to prevent cirrhosis by targeting any one fac...
