TGF-β1 Induces the Dual Regulation of Hepatic Progenitor Cells with Both Anti- and Proliver Fibrosis
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) plays a central role in hepatic progenitor cells- (HPCs-) mediated liver repair and fibrosis. However, different effects of TGF-β1 on progenitor cells have not been described.

Experimental Cirrhosis of the Liver [PDF]
The reparative process which follows the wide spread necrosis of the dog's liver caused by the injection of hæmagglutinative serum constitutes a chronic interstitial hepatitis of definite and constant character. This is not only a new type of experimental hepatic lesion, but is more definitely a cirrhosis than is any other experimental lesion hitherto ...

Toll-like receptor-mediated signaling cascade as a regulator of the inflammation network during alcoholic liver disease [PDF]
Chronic abuse of alcohol leads to various histological abnormalities in the liver. These are conditions collectively known as alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Currently, ALD is considered to be one of the major causes of death worldwide.

Advances on TGF-β/Smad signal pathway in hepatic fibrosis
The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays a vital role in regulating cell processes. As far as the liver is concerned, the TGF-β signaling pathway runs through liver diseases, from theinitial liver cell injury to inflammation ...

IL28B is associated with outcomes of chronic HBV infection [PDF]
Purpose The role of IL28B gene variants and expression in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are not well understood. Here, we evaluated whether IL28B gene expression and rs12979860 variations are associated with HBV outcomes.
