While the morphology and function of cells of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas have
been studied over several centuries, one important cell type in the gland, the pancreatic …

Improved understanding of the role of PSCs in pancreatic pathophysiology has prompted a
focus on translational studies aimed at developing novel approaches to modulate PSC …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) were identified in the early 1980s, but received much
attention after 1998 when the methods to isolate and culture them from murine and human …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PaSCs) are myofibroblast-like cells found in the areas of the
pancreas that have exocrine function. PaSCs are regulated by autocrine and paracrine …

There is accumulating evidence that activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a pivotal
role in pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. In addition, we have …

Activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are the main effector cells in the process of
fibrosis, a major pathological feature in pancreatic diseases that including chronic …

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are responsible for producing the collagenous stroma in
pancreatic cancer. Findings from the majority of in vitro and in vivo studies to date indicate …

Pancreatic fibrosis is a characteristic feature of chronic pancreatitis and of desmoplastic
reaction associated with pancreatic cancer. For over a decade, there has been accumulating …

Over a decade, there is accumulating evidence that activated pancreatic stellate cells
(PSCs) play a pivotal role in the development of pancreatic fibrosis. In response to …

Background: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a critical role in pancreatic fibrosis. To
date, human PSC biology has been studied using cancer-or inflammation-associated (pre …
