Extracellular Matrix of the Liver addresses the basic science of the extracellular matrix and discussesnew strategies for the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver, with a primary focus on possible gene therapyapproaches.
The chapters are divided into six sections as follows:
Basic Science of Extracellular Matrix
Cells Responsible for Extracellular Matrix Production
Activation Mechanism of Hepatic Cells and Signal Transduction
Basic Science for Extracellular Matrix Metabolism including Enzymes and their Inhibitors
Matrix Mettaloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors for Matrix Mettaloproteinases
New Strategies for the treatment of Liver Cirrhosis
Discusses the possibility of gene therapy for liver cirrhosis
Includes information on new aspects of hepatic stellate cells
Written by top experts in basic science and clinical hepatology
Hepatologists, molecular geneticists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and hematologists
