<h4>Background & aims</h4>Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) exerts key functions in fibrogenic cells, promoting fibrosis development in the liver and other organs. In contrast, the functions of TGFβ in liver epithelial cells are not well understood, despite their high level of responsiveness to TGFβ. We sought to determine the contribution of epithelial TGFβ signaling to hepatic fibrogenesis and carcinogenesis.<h4>Methods</h4>TGFβ signaling in liver epithelial cells was inhibited by albumin-Cr ...[more]
