Stellate cells are resident lipid-storing cells of the pancreas and liver that transdifferentiate to
a myofibroblastic state in the context of tissue injury. Beyond having roles in tissue …

The hepatic stellate cell has surprised and engaged physiologists, pathologists, and
hepatologists for over 130 years, yet clear evidence of its role in hepatic injury and fibrosis …

Hepatic stellate cells are liver-resident cells of star-like morphology and are located in the
space of Disse between liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatocytes1, 2. Stellate cells …

Stellate cells are vitamin A-storing cells of liver and pancreas and have been described in all
vertebrates ranging from lampreys (primitive fish) to humans, demonstrating their major …

leading to an understanding that is increasingly nuanced. A clear example is the paper of
Magness and coworkers1 in this issue of HEPATOLOGY, which explores the topic of stellate …

This review article summarizes 20 years of our research on hepatic stellate cells within the
framework of two collaborative research centers CRC575 and CRC974 at the Heinrich …

Pancreatic stellate cells are stromal cells that have multiple physiological functions such as
the production of extracellular matrix, stimulation of amylase secretion, phagocytosis and …

Hepatic stellate cells are liver-specific mesenchymal cells that play vital roles in liver
physiology and fibrogenesis. They are located in the space of Disse and maintain close …

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most challenging adenocarcinomas due to its hostile
molecular behavior and complex tumor microenvironment. It has been recently postulated …

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are resident non-parenchymal liver pericytes whose plasticity
enables them to regulate a remarkable range of physiologic and pathologic responses. To …
