Role of integrin α4 in the inhibition of fibrosis in activated hepatic stellate cells by Periplaneta americana extract

This study aims to investigate the role of integrin α4 (ITGA4) in the inhibition of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) fibrosis by Periplaneta americana extract (PAE), as well as to explore its molecular mechanisms. In vitro experiments utilized TGFβ-induced LX2 and HSC-T6 cells to examine the anti-fibro...
