Prominin‐1‐expressing hepatic progenitor cells induce fibrogenesis in murine cholestatic liver injury
Abstract Cholestatic liver injury is associated with intrahepatic biliary fibrosis, which can progress to cirrhosis. Resident hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) expressing Prominin‐1 (Prom1 or CD133) become activated and participate in the expansion of cholangiocytes known as the ductular reaction. Pre...
