Abstract Background/Aims: Chronic pancreatitis is histologically characterized by an
extended fibrosis and infiltration of leukocytes. We intended to differentiate the infiltration to …

Background: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) have been implicated in pancreatic fibrosis as
they synthesise increased amounts of extracellular matrix proteins in response to activation …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Regulatory mechanisms in chronic pancreatitis finally resulting in
pancreatic fibrosis cannot be studied sufficiently in human pancreas. Results of a new …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are essentially involved in the development of pancreatic
fibrosis, a constant feature of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Profibrogenic …

Just before birth, changes occur in the metabolic capacities of rat liver so that the animal can
adapt to changes in the substrate supply. In utero, glucose is the main energy-generating …

Origin and fate of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) before, during and after pancreatic injury
are a matter of debate. The crucial role of PSCs in the pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrosis is …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are involved in, among other things, the pathogenesis of
pancreatic fibrosis. Here, we present the generation of immortalized PSCs 7 and 14 days …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a key role in the development of pancreatic fibrosis, a
constant feature of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. In response to pro‐fibrogenic …

We have recently reported that preconditioning through hyperthermia induces expression of
pancreatic heat shock proteins (HSPs) and protects against caerulein pancreatitis. Here, we …

Pancreatic fibrosis, a key feature of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, is mediated
by activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSC). Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has …
