Galectin-1 Restores Immune Tolerance to Liver Transplantation Through Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells

Background/Aims: Immune tolerance is considered the only way to manage liver transplantation (LT). The current study hypothesized that galectin-1 via the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is capable of inducing immune tolerance in LT. Methods: Lentiviral-mediated gene knockdown and overexp...
