## Abstract ## Objective Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine‐rich secreted matricellular protein involved in wound healing and tissue repair. Enhanced and prolonged expression of CTGF has been associated with tissue fibrosis in humans. However, questions remain as to whether CTGF

## Abstract ## Background Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a highly profibrogenic molecule implicated in hepatic fibrogenesis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is an effective tool to silence gene expression post‐transcriptionally. Therefore, we conducted an investigation to determine if int
