As noted above, stellate cell activation is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. Activation consists ... gelatinases (MMP-2,-9) and fibroblast activation protein; [38] (3) stromelysins (MMP ...

The excessive activation of fibroblasts results in abnormal tissue growth at sites of injury or inflammation and creates the perfect conditions for fibrosis to occur. Researchers in the Arthur lab ...

Specifically, the mechano-regulation of inflammation, extracellular matrix and fibroblast functional phenotype that results in a spectrum of tissue fibrosis outcomes. We utilize basic science and ...
