• Contribution of hepatic parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells to hepatic fibrogenesis in biliary atresia.: This study provides evidence that activated HSCs are responsible for increased collagen production in patients with biliary atresia and therefore play a definitive role in the fibrogenic process. Australia 1998
• Connective tissue growth factor expression is increased in biliary epithelial cells in biliary atresia.: In BA livers, novel biliary epithelia CTGF mRNA expression is high and correlates with severity of fibrosis. These data support a role for biliary epithelial cell signaling in fibrogenesis.
• Connective tissue growth factor and progressive fibrosis in biliary atresia.: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a newly described protein that stimulates transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Japan 2005
• Hyaluronic acid: a specific prognostic indicator of hepatic damage in biliary atresia.: hyaluronic acid (HA) as a noninvasive indicator of histological sinusoidal endothelial cell (SEC) damage and hepatic fibrosis in BA, is investigated.. ..
• Are stable postoperative biliary atresia patients really stable?: Japan 2001 Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF beta-1) is an important mediator of liver-cell proliferation and replication that is implicated in hepatic fibrosis (HF). Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are activated by TGF beta-1 and are the main precursor
