Divided into six sections, this book addresses the basic science of the extracellular matrix and discusses the strategies for the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver, with a primary focus on possible gene therapy approaches.

Extracellular Matrix of the Liver addresses the basic science of the extracellular matrix and discusses new strategies for the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver, with a primary focus on possible gene therapy approaches.

The chapters are divided into six sections as follows:

Basic Science of Extracellular Matrix
Cells Responsible for Extracellular Matrix Production
Activation Mechanism of Hepatic Cells and Signal Transduction
Basic Science for Extracellular Matrix Metabolism including Enzymes and their Inhibitors
Matrix Mettaloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors for Matrix Mettaloproteinases
New Strategies for the treatment of Liver Cirrhosis

Edited by sao Okazaki, Yosifumi Ninomiya, Tanikawa Kyuich and ~Scott I Friedman
