<i>Graptopetalum paraguayense</i> Inhibits Liver Fibrosis by Blocking TGF-β Signaling In Vivo and In Vitro
Background and Aims: Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen, which occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension. Activated hepatic perivascular stellate...
