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 ...

Background—The pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrosis is unknown. In the liver, stellate cells (vitamin A storing cells) play a significant role in the development of fibrosis. Aims—To determine whether ...

Activation of hepatic stellate cells is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. These perisinusoidal cells orchestrate an array of changes including degradation of the normal ECM of liver ...

Stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) has shown protective effects during SLV in various pulmonary conditions. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical utility of ultrasound-guided SGB in ...

A research team investigates how mushroom extract AHCC could prevent liver fibrosis by targeting key mechanisms, with ...

Chronic liver damage can lead to hepatitis, which causes fibrosis of the liver. This buildup of collagen and other fibrous ...

Recent studies suggest that activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a central role in pancreatic fibrogenesis via increased synthesis of ECM proteins. However, the role of these cells in ECM ...

Stellate Ganglion Blockade (SGB) is increasingly recognized as a significant therapeutic modality in the treatment of various clinical disorders, including regional pain syndromes, autonomic ...

AHCC seems to work on two pathways that lead to the suppression of liver fibrosis. News organizations may use or redistribute this image, with proper attribution, as part of news coverage of this ...

Scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and their partners reveal their pick of the top 10 plants and fungi named new ...
