研究揭示了肝糖细胞有助于肝脏再生,对肝病治疗的看法具有挑战性。 Study reveals hepatic stellate cells aid liver regeneration, challenging views on liver disease treatment.

研究人员发现,以前以造成肝纤维化而闻名的肝型星格细胞在肝脏再生和新陈代谢中也发挥着至关重要的作用。 Researchers have discovered that hepatic stellate cells, previously known for causing liver fibrosis, also play a vital role in liver regeneration and metabolism. 这些细胞产生Rspondin 3,一种蛋白质,与肝脏疾病患者的更好结果相关联。 These cells produce Rspondin 3, a protein linked to better outcomes in liver disease patients. 研究报告发表在《自然》上,其中建议新的治疗方法可以针对这些细胞,以改善肝脏健康,而不只是减少纤维化。 The study, published in Nature, suggests new therapeutic approaches could target these cells to improve liver health beyond just reducing fibrosis.
