In liver injury, hepatic stellate cells are considered to depart from the sinusoidal wall and accumulate in the necrotic lesion through migration and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the migratory capacity of quiescent stellate cells in vitro and analyzed the relationship with prolifera

We investigated whether transplanted hepatocytes interact with hepatic stellate cells, as cell-cell interactions could modulate their engraftment in the liver. We transplanted Fischer 344 rat hepatocytes into syngeneic dipeptidyl peptidase IV-deficient rats. Activation of hepatic stellate cells was

## Activation of local tissue macrophages (Kupffer cells) and of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs ) to a myofibroblast phenotype are two key events in liver inflammation and fibrosis. It is known that products of activated macrophages may activate stellate cells. We have hypothesized that th
