Human collagen XV is a prominent histopathological component of sinusoidal capillarization in hepatocellular carcinogenesis

摘要

Increased expression of collagen XV has been reported in hepatocellular carcinogenesis in mice. The aim of this study was to confirm the previous murine findings in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens, along with the histopathological distribution of collagen XV in tumoral tissues.
