MTE #34: Molecular Regulation of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation During Liver Injury and Fibrosis (Ticketed)
Sun, Nov 8, 2026 · 12:45–1:30 PM MST Convention Center: Room 1F, Colorado Convention Center
About this session
In this interactive session, experts discuss recent advances in hepatic stellate cell (HSC) biology in the context of liver injury and fibrosis progression. Quiescent HSCs play a critical role in liver homeostasis whereas activated HSCs are associated with fibrogenesis. Studies have identified distinct HSC populations that play differential roles during liver injury, tissue homeostasis, and fibrosis.
