P311 modulates hepatic stellate cells migration

摘要

Background & AimsLiver fibrosis is induced by the accumulation of extracellular matrix, deposited mainly by activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). One key characteristic of stellate cell activation is the directional migration to the site of injury during the wound-healing process. P311 is a protein that has been shown to play a role in migration and we aimed to study a possible role for this protein during stellate cell migration.
