Identification of Lineage-Specific Transcription Factors That Prevent Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells and Promote Fibrosis Resolution

Abstract excerpt

Background & Aims Development of liver fibrosis is associated with activation of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into collagen type I–producing myofibroblasts (activated HSCs). Cessation of liver injury often results in fibrosis resolution and inactivation of activated HSCs/myofibroblasts into a quiescent-like state (inactivated HSCs). We aimed to identify molecular features of phenotypes of HSCs from...
