Hepatic Fibrosis Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Emerging Therapies (2008) Scott L. Friedman

Description

This comprehensive compilation reviews the latest advances in hepatic fibrosis, covering global challenges, genetic basis, molecular mechanisms, cellular targets (including hepatic stellate cells), and the role of cytokines. It details progress in non-invasive diagnostics (like hepatic stiffness measurement) and explores the mechanisms underlying fibrosis reversibility and emerging therapeutic strategies.
