Transcriptional factor ATF3 promotes liver fibrosis via activating hepatic stellate cells
Abstract The excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key feature of liver fibrosis and the activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the major producer of ECM proteins. However, the precise mechanisms and target molecules that are involved in liver fibrosis remain unclear. In thi...
