Hepatic fibrosis occurs during most chronic liver diseases and is driven by inflammatory responses to injured tissue. Because DCs are central to modulating liver immunity, we postulated that altered DC function contributes to immunologic changes in hepatic fibrosis and affects the pathologic inflamm

Liver transplant tolerance in pigs, rats, and mice has been disclosed for decades, but the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Accumulating data indicate that residing dendritic cells (DC) are important in determining direction of immune responses in the liver. However, our knowledg
The effects of undernutrition on the developing cerebellum were studied in 30-day-old rats undernourished from birth by restricting access to the lactating mother. These animals showed a significant reduction in cerebellar weight when compared with well-nourished controls. Quantitative studies of th
