Transcriptional regulation of stellate cell activation

Abstract excerpt

The identification of activated hepatic stellate cells and related cell types as key fibrogenic effectors during liver injury has led to intense evaluation of transcriptional events underlying their behavior. While initial studies focused on characterizing interactions between transcription factors and regulatory regions within gene promoters, epigenetic mechanisms have emerged as major determinants of gene...
