Cryopreservation of hepatic stellate cells
Journal of Hepatology, 2006Isolated rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are taken as a valuable in vitro model to study hepatic fibrogenesis, biotransformation of pharmaceutics, gene expression, transcription factors controlling HSC behaviour, and for the establishment of long-term cultures. Consequently, methods for the isolation and maintenance of HSC cultures are well documented.

Hepatic stellate cells are mainly known for their contribution to fibrogenesis in chronic liver diseases, but their identity and function in normal liver remain unclear. They were recently identified as liver-resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can differentiate not only into adipocytes and osteocytes, but also into liver epithelial cells ...

The stellate cells compose a class of small polymorphous neurons lying in the outer two thirds of the molecular layer. They were described by a number of early authors, FUSARI (1883), PONTI (1897), SMIRNOW (1897), in addition to RAMON YCAJAL (1889b), who in his great book on the nervous system (1911) gave SMIRNOW the credit for writing the most ...

Stellate cells in the digestive tract
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2003Although liver Sternzellen were initially described in 1876, it was not until the early 1970s that fat-storing cells, also called Ito cells or hepatic stellate cells (HSC), were demonstrated to be important sites of vitamin A storage. Subsequently, HSCs were found to be key players in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis.

Stellate Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment
2020As tumor microenvironments share many of the same qualities as chronic wounds, attention is turning to the wound-repair cells that support the growth of cancerous cells. Stellate cells are star-shaped cells that were first discovered in the perisinusoidal spaces in the liver and have been found to support wound healing by the secretion of growth ...

Vitamin A‐Storing Cells (Stellate Cells)
2007Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs; also called as vitamin A-storing cells, lipocytes, interstitial cells, fat-storing cells, Ito cells) exist in the space between parenchymal cells and sinusoidal endothelial cells of the hepatic lobule, and store 80% of vitamin A in the whole body as retinyl palmitate in lipid droplets in the cytoplasm.

The diffuse stellate cell system
Journal of Molecular Histology, 2007Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play an important role in liver fibrogenesis. Morphologically similar cells have been found at extrahepatic sites such as pancreas, kidney and colon. The true phenotypic relationship between these cells has not been fully established.

Hepatic stellate cell: A star cell in the liver
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2009Hepatic stellate cells represent a highly versatile cytotype that plays a significant role in liver development and differentiation, regeneration, xenobiotic response, immunoregulation, control of hepatic blood flow and inflammatory reactions. Because of the wide panel of molecular intermediates they may produce and secrete, particularly after their ...

Fibrogenic signalling in hepatic stellate cells
Journal of Hepatology, 2010 (1) Upon liver damage, hepatic stellate cells undergo a process defined as activation (Fig. 1), that enables them to acquire a myofibroblastic phenotype. The biological actions of myofibroblasts are pivotal for liver tissue repair and fibrogenesis [1]. (2) Activation of TGFb-dependent fibrogenic signalling in hepatic stellate cells.

Of all the different cell types in the pancreatic parenchyma, the most recently discovered cell is the pancreatic stellate cell (PSC). PSCs were first described more than 30 years ago, in 1982. Sixteen years later, in 1998, methods were developed to isolate and culture PSCs from the pancreas, which provided a much-needed impetus to studies on PSC ...
