• Contribution of hepatic parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells to hepatic fibrogenesis in biliary atresia.: This study provides evidence that activated HSCs are responsible for increased collagen production in patients with biliary atresia and therefore play a definitive role in the fibrogenic process. Australia 1998
• Connective tissue growth factor expression is increased in biliary epithelial cells in biliary atresia.: In BA livers, novel biliary epithelia CTGF mRNA expression is high and correlates with severity of fibrosis. These data support a role for biliary epithelial cell signaling in fibrogenesis.
• Connective tissue growth factor and progressive fibrosis in biliary atresia.: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a newly described protein that stimulates transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Japan 2005
