Open AccessTrichostatin A inhibits the activation of Hepatic stellate cells by Increasing C/EBP-α Acetylation in vivo and in vitro
Reversal of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) to a quiescent state and apoptosis of activated HSCs are key elements in the reversion of hepatic fibrosis. CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBP-α) has be...
