REMOTE EXCITATION OF NEURONAL CIRCUITS USING LOW-INTENSITY, LOW-FREQUENCY ULTRASOUND.


N-terminal region of gelsolin induces apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cells by a caspase-dependent mechanism.

Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the major source for alteration of extracellular matrix in fibrosis and cirrhosis.Conditioned medium (CM) collected from immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) have earlier been shown to be responsible for apoptosis Hair Tonic of HSCs.In this study, we have shown that antibodies raised against a peptide der
