Liver fibrosis, non-parenchymal cells and the promise of exosome therapy
Non-parenchymal cells like hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), Kupffer cells (KCs), and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) play a key role in fibrosis development. These cells are involved in ...
Tonsils can grow back after they’ve been removed – here’s which other body parts can regenerate
One reason that tonsils may grow back is that one of the operations to remove them is a partial tonsillectomy. Only removing ...
