Telocytes (TCs), a novel peculiar interstitial cell found in many tissues and organs, play pivotal roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and regulating tissue and organ development and immune surveillance. In recent years, the existence of TCs in liver has been confirmed. In this chapter, we evaluate the role of TCs on promoting liver regeneration and the therapeutic effects on liver fibrosis.
端粒细胞(TCs)是一种在许多组织和器官中发现的新型特殊间质细胞,在维持组织内环境稳定、调节组织和器官发育以及免疫监视方面发挥着关键作用。近年来,肝脏中端粒细胞的存在已得到证实。在本章中,我们评估端粒细胞在促进肝脏再生中的作用以及对肝纤维化的治疗效果。
