The types of hepatic myofibroblasts contributing to liver fibrosis of different etiologies.

The types of hepatic myofibroblasts contributing to liver fibrosis of different etiologies.

Liver fibrosis results from dysregulation of normal wound healing, inflammation, activation of myofibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Chronic liver injury causes death of hepatocytes and formation of apoptotic bodies, which in turn, release factors that recruit inflammatory cel...
