Abstract excerpt

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) has recently been shown to provide a marker for normal perisinusoidal stellate cells (PSC) in the liver. However, nothing was known so far about the changes in the intercellular abundancy of GFAP during transformation of PSC into myofibroblasts, a process ch...
