Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>BackgroundHepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are liver-resident myofibroblast precursors responsible for the production of collagen and maintenance of the hepatic extracellular matrix (ECM). As such, they are generally associated with fibrotic liver diseases. HSCs become "activated" in response to tissue damage or pathogen invasion, a process most commonly driven by transforming growth facto...
