Researchers: Prof Darrell Crawford (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Julie Jonsson ,  Dr Kim Bridle

Brief description Hepatic fibrosis, or scarring of the liver, is a serious condition which can lead to liver cancer or death. Treatment of liver scarring is currently not effective once the scarring is well developed. This project aims to examine agents which may act to halt liver scarring once it has already developed. Outcomes from this project may help provide potential treatments to reduce the need for liver transplantation or to reduce patient deaths.
