Liver fibrosis is caused by many chronic diseases. Liver injury results in activation of
collagen‐producing cells and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. This …

Hepatic fibrosis is a wound‐healing response to chronic liver injury, which if persistent leads
to cirrhosis and liver failure. Exciting progress has been made in understanding the …

There have been considerable recent advances towards a better understanding of the
complex cellular and molecular network underlying liver fibrogenesis. Recent data indicate …

Background Hepatic fibrogenesis is the common result of injury to the liver. Further, fibrosis
is believed to be a critical factor that leads to hepatic dysfunction and may be important in …

The response to injury is one of wound healing and fibrogenesis, which ultimately leads to
fibrosis. The fibrogenic response to injury is a generalized one across virtually all organ …

Liver fibrosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to chronic viral
hepatitis and, more recently, from fatty liver disease associated with obesity. Hepatic stellate …

Despite intensive studies, the clinical opportunities for patients with fibrosing liver diseases
have not improved. This will be changed by increasing knowledge of new pathogenetic …
