Abstract excerpt
Smad1 is a receptor-activated intracellular signaling protein, which mediates signal transduction of bone morphogenetic proteins. Current study investigated the expression and transcriptional activity of Smad1 during hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. Rat HSCs were isolated from rats at 1, 2...
