Hepatic Stellate Cells: Balancing Homeostasis, Hepatoprotection and Fibrogenesis in Health, and Disease

Scientists review how hepatic stellate cells mediators, such as R-spondin 3, hepatocyte growth factor, and bone morphogenetic proteins, regulate critical and homeostatic liver functions in health and disease via cognate receptors in hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and endothelial cells.
