Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Fibrotic liver remodelling was studied in culture of precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) derived from fibrotic liver. METHODS: Fibrosis was induced in rats by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treatment or bile duct ligation. Human fibrotic livers were also used. PCLS were cultured for 6, 24, 48, or 72 h, and the expression of alpha-smooth muscle (SM) actin, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)...
