Abstract excerpt
Liver connective tissue cells have been characterized as perisinusoidal myofibroblasts and hepatic lipocytes (Ito cells, fat-storing cells). A concept of a single mesenchymal cell population that may be modulated between these two phenotypes has been postulated. We have previously established a c...
