Following liver injury, hepatic stellate cells (HSC) undergo proliferation and migrate into damaged areas in response to chemotactic factors. HSC have been shown to regulate leukocyte trafficking by secreting monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a chemokine that recruits monocytes and lymphocytes

Cholestatic liver diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) liver disease and biliary atresia, predominate as causes of childhood cirrhosis. Despite diverse etiologies, the stereotypic final pathway involves fibrogenesis where hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are recruited, producing excess collagen which
## Abstract Albumin, a blood protein absent from the adult brain in physiological situations, can be brought into contact with brain cells during development or, in adult, following breakdown of the bloodβbrain barrier occurring as a result of local inflammation. In the present study, we show that
