Researchers from Columbia University and the German Cancer Center have found that stellate cells—star-shaped liver cells long ...
Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type ...
Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...
Scientists have identified the Plvap gene as a key regulator of metabolism during fasting. Disabling it in mice prevented the ...
This suggests that stellate cells play a previously unknown role in controlling liver metabolism by directing other cell ...
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 ...
structures made of PANC-1 cells – a human pancreatic cancer cell line – and pancreatic stellate cells. This gives the model ...
Solute carrier (SLC) family transporters are crucial transmembrane proteins responsible for transporting various molecules, including amino acids, electrolytes, fatty acids, and nucleotides. To date, ...
