Study advances understanding of liver immune response in cirrhosis - EurekAlert
<p>Researchers have investigated the role of the protein LSECtin in the liver's immune response through experiments on mouse cirrhosis models and human tissues.</p> <p>They found that decreased levels of LSECtin lead to increased specific immune cells in the liver, suggesting that restoring these levels could potentially restore altered liver functions in cirrhosis patients.</p> <p>The study suggests restoring LSECtin activity could be a therapeutic strategy for cirrhosis. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the immune mechanisms involved in cirrhosis and provide insights into possible treatment avenues for this condition. </p>
