Researchers have found that stellate cells – known for their role in liver fibrosis – play a key role in protecting and ...
New research suggests restoring stellate cells to their healthy and protective state could simultaneously reduce liver scarring and improve liver function.
Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

Researchers identify Lhx2 as key gene in hepatic stellate cells regulating liver regeneration and fibrosisA research team has identified the transcription factor Lhx2 (LIM homeobox protein 2) as a key regulator in hepatic stellate cells. Lhx2 was found to simultaneously promote liver regeneration and ...
As noted above, stellate cell activation is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. Activation consists of 2 major phases: (1) initiation (also called apreinflammatory stage) and (2) perpetuation ...
Hepatic stellate cells reside between the hepatocytes and small blood vessels in the liver. They are characterised by the presence of lipid droplets and thin protrusions extending around the blood ...
Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers from the German Cancer ...
Activation of hepatic stellate cells is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. These perisinusoidal cells orchestrate an array of changes including degradation of the normal ECM of liver ...
