Hepatic Fibrosis: Mechanisms and Targets is a complete volume of liver extracellular matrix biology, including molecular signaling pathways, cells and factors that modulate fibrog… Read more
- Presents progression from inflammation to fibrosis, with a special focus on the molecular mechanisms involved
- Didactically explains the participation of cells, cytokines and factors in profibrogenic pathways
- Illuminates the causative participation of free radicals in liver fibrogenesis
- Explains the role of gut dysbiosis in chronic liver diseases leading to fibrosis
- Provides experimental models to study liver fibrosis and describes available, noninvasive monitoring methods
Basic and clinical scientists and clinicians working in the biological sciences, especially those dedicated to the study and treatment of liver diseases, fibrosis, and those interested in molecular biology and mechanisms of diseases. Gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and other physicians. First degree and postgraduate students of medicine and other students in the biological area, molecular biologists, etc. Pharmaceutical companies may find this book useful for the development of new drugs based on the molecular targets described in each chapter
