Ca(2+) /calmodulin- dependent protein kinase II mediates transforming growth factor-β-induced hepatic stellate cells proliferation but not in collagen α1(I) production
{{output}}
Aim: Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the major players in hepatic fibrosis. As a most potent mitogen, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) strongly activates HSC and increases intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Here, we asse... ...
