## Abstract ## Background/aims Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ1) is considered the key mediator in the process of liver fibrosis. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the activity of ribozymes against TGFβ1 in a cell‐free system and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and anti
## Abstract ## Background Dominant‐negative transforming growth factor β type II receptor (TβRIIΔcyt) is a protein that blocks transforming growth factor (TGF‐β) signaling. Because the consequences of blocking TGF‐β have not been completely elucidated in liver fibrosis, we analysed the effects of
