[PDF][PDF] Hepatic stellate cells: partners in crime for liver metastases?
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were recently postulated as a component of the prometastatic
liver microenvironment, because they can transdifferentiate into highly proliferative and …

Hepatic stellate cells function as regulatory bystanders
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) contribute significantly to the tolerogenic nature of the liver. The
mechanisms, however, underlying liver-associated Treg induction are still elusive. We …
