Hepatic stellate cell-specific miR-214 expression alleviates liver fibrosis without boosting steatosis and inflammation

Background Liver fibrosis is a progressive pathological process primarily driven by the transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into myofibroblast-like cells which secrete excessive extracellular matrix (ECM). Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of fibrogenesis,...
