Abstract excerpt
Liver fibrosis is the response of the liver to chronic liver inflammation. The communication between the resident liver macrophages (Kupffer cells [KCs]) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) has been mainly viewed as one-directional: from KCs to HSCs with KCs promoting fibrogenesis. However, recent studies indicated that HSCs may function as a hub of intercellular communications. Therefore, the aim of the present...
