Deletion of Wntless in myeloid cells exacerbates liver fibrosis and the ductular reaction in chronic liver injury
29 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Macrophages play critical roles in liver regeneration, fibrosis development and resolution. They are among the first responders to liver injury and are implicated in orchestrating the fibrogenic response via multiple mechanisms. Macrophages are also intimately associated with the activated hepatic progenitor cell (HPC) niche or ductular reaction that develops in parallel with fibrosis. Among the many...
