Cytokines in Liver Health and Diseaseal processes in and around the cells that produce them. They may act on different cell types (pleiotropic effects) and have overlapping effects (redundancy); furthermore, their action may be local or systemic. In most tissues, including the liver, constitutive production of cytokines is absent or mi

Autoantibodies have been described that target membrane-bound proteins of the cell and nuclear membranes and that reside in the cytoplasm or in other organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum (Table 1) or mitochondria (Table

The Role of Inflammation and Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Liver Fibrosis this wound-healing response has led to realistic expectations for treating fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease owing to either viral hepatitis or metabolic or autoimmune diseases, among others. There has been continued clarification of the cellular source of extracellular matrix (ECM) i

In the United States, the number of notified cases annually is around 23,000, but estimates of the real number of cases of clinical disease range up to 75,000 per year. The infection is usually transmitted via a fecal-oral route and is associated only with acute forms
