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 ...

Current research on the stellate ganglion (SG) has shifted from merely understanding its role as a collection of neurons to recognizing its importance in immune regulation. As part of the autonomic ...

Recent studies suggest that activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a central role in pancreatic fibrogenesis via increased synthesis of ECM proteins. However, the role of these cells in ECM ...

"It is considered more painful than fibromyalgia or giving birth — even more painful than amputating a finger without ...

A study led by Manuel Vázquez Carrera, group leader at the Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Diseases Networking Biomedical ...

Background—The pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrosis is unknown. In the liver, stellate cells (vitamin A storing cells) play a significant role in the development of fibrosis. Aims—To determine whether ...

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 ...

Members of the Mansfield Noon Optimist Club were among the volunteers in the veterans “Silent Watch” on Saturday.

The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a key process in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, but the molecular mechanisms behind it are not fully understood. By combining the analysis of ...
