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 ...

The liver is largely comprised of hepatocytes, but Kupffer cells, endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells are also present.

The latest therapy approved to treat chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has a new target different than the other ...

Oct. 9, 2024 — Researchers have developed a groundbreaking cell culture platform that enables the formation of two distinct but interconnected vascular networks. Their breakthrough holds ...

There may be a slight increase in Kupffer cells, which contain increased amounts of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive granules. Electron microscopy reveals proliferation of smooth endoplasmic ...

This study provides useful evidence substantiating a role for long noncoding RNAs in liver metabolism and organismal physiology. Using murine knockout and knock-in models, the authors invoke a ...

Oct. 22, 2024 — Peptides formed during cheese ripening are crucial for the full-bodied flavor of aged cheeses, known as kokumi. A research team led by the Leibniz-Institute for Food Systems ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

Moreover, it might be more accurate to think of it like an immune system: a collection of cells that work in unison with the host and that can promote health but sometimes initiate disease. This ...
