Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background & Aims</h4> Chronic liver disease is a growing epidemic leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. TGF-β is the pivotal pro-fibrogenic cytokine which activates hepatic stellate cells (HSC), yet, other molecules can substantially modulate TGF-β signaling in the course of liver fibrosis.
