Nitric oxide signals are interlinked with calcium signals in normal pancreatic stellate cells upon oxidative stress and inflammation [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 The mammalian diffuse stellate cell system comprises retinoid-storing cells capable of remarkable transformations from a quiescent to an activated myofibroblast-like phenotype.

Storage of vitamin A in extrahepatic stellate cells in normal rats
Journal of Lipid Research, 1997 In mammals, vitamin A is primarily stored as retinyl esters in hepatic stellate cells under normal dietary intake of the vitamin. Previously, extrahepatic vitamin A-storing stellate cells have only been identified in animals maintained on a vitamin A ...

Molecular Cancer, 2010 Background Tissue fibrosis is an integral component of chronic inflammatory (liver and pancreas) diseases and pancreatic cancer. Activated pancreatic- (PSC) and hepatic- (HSC) stellate cells play a key role in fibrogenesis. To identify organ- and disease-

Hepatic stellate cell progenitor cells [PDF]
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2012 AbstractHepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are recognized as a major player in liver fibrogenesis. Upon liver injury, HSCs differentiate into myofibroblasts and participate in progression of fibrosis and cirrhosis. Additional cell types such as resident liver fibroblasts/myofibroblasts or bone marrow cells are also known to generate myofibroblasts.

Role of cytoglobin, a novel radical scavenger, in stellate cell activation and hepatic fibrosis [PDF]
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2020 Cytoglobin (Cygb), a stellate cell-specific globin, has recently drawn attention due to its association with liver fibrosis. In the livers of both humans and rodents, Cygb is expressed only in stellate cells and can be utilized as a marker to distinguish

Diagnostic Pathology, 2007 Folliculo-stellate cells are a nonendocrine, sustentacular-like complementary population of the anterior pituitary. They currently are considered as functionally and phenotypically heterogeneous, with one subpopulation of folliculo-stellate cells ...

The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene regulates pancreas homeostasis and repair. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene (Wt1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that plays an essential role in the development of kidneys, gonads, spleen, adrenals and heart.

Cardiovascular Disease and its Association with Histological Changes of the Left stellate Ganglion
Clinical Medicine Insights: Pathology, 2010 Mounting evidence has demonstrated that the autonomic system plays a role in the morbidity and mortality of certain cardiovascular disease states. Ventricular arrhythmias have been associated with the level of sympathetic activation.

N-terminal region of gelsolin induces apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cells by a caspase-dependent mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the major source for alteration of extracellular matrix in fibrosis and cirrhosis. Conditioned medium (CM) collected from immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) have earlier been shown to be responsible for ...
