We eliminated type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) signaling by adenovirus-mediated local expression of a dominant-negative type II TGF-beta receptor (AdCATbeta-TR) in the liver of rats treated with dimethylnitrosamine, a model of persistent liver fibrosis. In rats that received a single
The mechanisms responsible for the increased hepatic connective tissue deposition in cirrhosis remain unknown; and there is no established therapy for hepatic fibrosis. In this issue of Hepatology, Ruwart et al. (1) report that 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (DMPG) inhibits hepatic collagen deposit
## Abstract ## Background Transplantation of stem cells from various sources into infarcted hearts has the potential to promote myocardial regeneration. However, the regenerative capacity is limited partly as a result of the low survival rate of the transplanted cells in the ischemic myocardium. I
Hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis are possible consequences of corticosteroid-treated autoimmune hepatitis. Our aims were to determine the frequency of progressive fibrosis and the factors associated with this progression. Two hundred seventy-seven liver tissue specimens that had been obtained from 73
