Mechanisms of spontaneous resolution of rat liver fibrosis. Hepatic stellate cell apoptosis and reduced hepatic expression of metalloproteinase inhibitors

Liver fibrosis results from the excessive secretion of matrix proteins by hepatic stellate cells (HSC), which proliferate during fibrotic liver injury. We have studied a model of spontaneous recovery from liver fibrosis to determine the biological mechanisms mediating resolution. Livers were harvest...
