Mechanism of the transforming growth factor-β induction of fibronectin expression in hepatic stem-like cells
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays an important role in the fibrogenic process in the liver. The aim of the present study was to explore the action of TGF-β1 on fibronectin expression in rat hepatic stem-like cells and the underlying mechanisms.
