NOX as a Therapeutic Target in Liver Disease
Antioxidants, 2022 The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen oxidase (NADPH oxidase or NOX) plays a critical role in the inflammatory response and fibrosis in several organs such as the lungs, pancreas, kidney, liver, and heart. In the liver, NOXs contribute,

Heparanase and macrophage interplay in the onset of liver fibrosis [PDF]
, 2017 The heparan sulfate endoglycosidase heparanase (HPSE) is involved in tumor growth, chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Since a role for HPSE in chronic liver disease has not been demonstrated to date, the current study was aimed at investigating the ...

A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis? [PDF]
, 2012 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been demonstrated to have a role in immune regulation. In general, they are anti-inflammatory and promote Th2 type responses, and they are associated with the alternative activation of macrophages.

Metabolic Hallmarks of Hepatic Stellate Cells in Liver Fibrosis
Cells, 2019 Liver fibrosis is a regenerative process that occurs after injury. It is characterized by the deposition of connective tissue by specialized fibroblasts and concomitant proliferative responses.

Microenvironment and tumor cells: two targets for new molecular therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
, 2018 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is one of the most frequent human cancer and is characterized by a high mortality rate. The aggressiveness appears strictly related to the liver pathological background on which cancer develops.
