Chemokines in the pathogenesis of liver disease: so many players with poorly defined roles

Abstract excerpt

Many new chemokines have been described in recent years, resulting in a new classification of these chemoattractant proteins. The characterization of the biological functions of most chemokines relates to their ability to induce chemotaxis in circulating inflammatory cells.
