Hepatic stellate cells contribute to liver regeneration through galectins in hepatic stem cell niche

Abstract Background As a critical cellular component in the hepatic stem cell niche, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play critical roles in regulating the expansion of hepatic stem cells, liver regeneration, and fibrogenesis. However, the signaling of HSCs, particularly that involved in promoting hepa...
