Article Synopsis
- - Liver fibrosis happens due to an overactive healing response, primarily driven by activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) that accumulate extracellular matrix (ECM) in the liver.
- - Inducing senescence (a growth halt) in aHSCs can help break down ECM and reduce fibrosis, with ATP6V1G3 being identified as a key factor in this process that needs further exploration.
- - Preliminary findings suggest that inhibiting ATP6V1G3 can trigger senescence in aHSCs, and blocking the Notch1 pathway can reverse this effect, highlighting ATP6V1G3 as a potential target for treating liver fibrosis.
