Abstract
We report that fibrogenic hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in the liver are negative regulators of hepatocyte regeneration. This negative regulatory function requires stimulation of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5-HT(2B)) on HSCs by serotonin, which activates expression of transforming growth fa...

We previously found that loss-of-function mutations in the transcription factor GLIS2, a putative vertebrate ortholog of Drosophila Ci, cause nephronophthisis type 7 in humans and mice.

At the host-implant interface, implanted ECs first wrap around nearby host vessels and the...

Abstract

Ablation of cyclin E led to a decreased number of s...
