Cellular senescence in liver fibrosis: Implications for age-related chronic liver diseases
2 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: New insights indicate a causative link between cellular senescence and liver fibrosis. Senescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) facilitate fibrosis resolution, while senescence in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes acts as a potent mechanism driving liver fibrogenesis. In many clinical studies, telomeres and mitochondrial DNA contents, which are both aging biomarkers, were reportedly associated with a...
