Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were recently identified as liver-resident mesenchymal stem
cells. HSCs are activated after liver injury and involved in pivotal processes, such as liver …

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play an important microenvironmental role in hepatic
progenitor cells (HPCs) differentiation fate. To reveal the specific mechanism of HSCs …

Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) plays a crucial role in the liver disease progression
from liver fibrosis/cirrhosis to cancer. Here, we found a rapid change of microenvironment …

Liver injury activates quiescent hepatic stellate cells (Q-HSC) to proliferative myofibroblasts.
Accumulation of myofibroblastic hepatic stellate cells (MF-HSC) sometimes causes cirrhosis …

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are a significant component of the hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC) tumor microenvironment (TME). Activated HSCs transform into myofibroblast-like …

Background & Aims Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the key drivers of fibrosis in metabolic
dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the fastest growing cause of hepatocellular …

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are liver‐specific mesenchymal cells that play vital roles in liver
development and injury. Our knowledge of HSC biology is limited by the paucity of in vivo …

Background As a critical cellular component in the hepatic stem cell niche, hepatic stellate
cells (HSCs) play critical roles in regulating the expansion of hepatic stem cells, liver …

During liver tissue repair, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), a pericyte-like nonparenchymal liver
cell population, transform from a quiescent status (resting HSCs. into myofibroblast like cells …

Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play an important role in liver fibrogenesis. They are also key
players in liver regeneration as part of the stem cell niche of hepatocytes and hepatic …
