Mechanisms of Liver Scarring in Chronic Liver Disease [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Grant Ramm (Principal investigator)

Brief description Despite advances made in understanding the mechanisms of liver injury, chronic liver disease continues to be one of the most rapidly growing causes of death in subjects aged <65 years. This is the result of uncontrolled wound healing and regeneration leading ultimately to cirrhosis and liver cancer. This research will identify and characterise pathways that control the wound healing response to liver injury, involving the processes of inflammation, scarring and restitution of normal liver mass.
