Deskripsi
Liver cirrhosis is characterised by extensive fibrosis of the liver, and understanding the underpinning immunological processes is important in designing intervention. Here authors show that Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cells are instrumental to controlling the balance between profibrogenic and restorative macrophages and inhibiting their activation might reverse liver fibrosis.
