Liver fibrosis is driven by protease‐activated receptor‐1 expressed by hepatic stellate cells in experimental chronic liver injury

Abstract Background Blood coagulation protease activity is proposed to drive hepatic fibrosis through activation of protease‐activated receptors (PARs). Whole‐body PAR‐1 deficiency reduces experimental hepatic fibrosis, and in vitro studies suggest a potential contribution by PAR‐1 expressed by hepa...
