Sentence examples for migration of hepatic from inspiring English sources

In this study, we investigated the influences of nanoporous and microgrooved substrates on the morphology and migration of hepatic cell line, BEL-7402 cells.

Since activation and migration of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are hallmarks of liver fibrosis, we hypothesized that C5a contributes to fibrosis by regulating HSC activation and/or migration.

Indeed our initial hypothesis was that there would be a gradient across the liver, between distant and peritumoural liver tissue, indicative of migration of hepatic NK cells towards the tumour.

The protein is also the effector protein of p38 MAP kinase in the p38 MAP kinase signalling pathway that mediates platelet derived growth factor-BB-stimulated migration of hepatic myofibroblasts [ 22].

Fibrosis is a pathological feature of copper toxicosis in NR [ 5, 9] but not in domesticated breeds [ 8] therefore upregulation of Hsp27 in a pathway that mediates the migration of hepatic myofibroblasts which contribute to the development of fibrosis is an unexpected finding.

MMP-2 promotes proliferation and migration of the hepatic stellate cells and its activation is dependent on MMP-14 [ 59].

Liver injury could be associated with macrophage activation and trigger migration of macrophages into hepatic cords in which they stimulate fibrosis by secreting proinflammatory cytokines.

Furthermore, host responses in knockout mice were more pronounced with respect to bacterial load in lung, liver, and blood, plasma cytokine levels, thrombocytopenia as well as delayed migration of neutrophils into hepatic tissue.

Liver inflammation can be associated with KC activation and trigger migration of "professional" phagocytes into hepatic cords where these macrophages stimulate fibrosis by secreting proinflammatory cytokines.

In contrast, in animals infected with L. donovani, the migration of peripheral blood monocytes to hepatic granulomas [33], which is under the control of GM-CSF, generates leishmanicidal activity throughout macrophage activation [34].

The activation of NK T cells after CLP may facilitate intrahepatic trafficking since previous studies have shown that activation of CXCR3 functions to regulate the migration of NK T cells within the hepatic sinusoids during periods of bacterial infection [ 33].
