Comment:
Cirrhosis is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, responsible
for approximately 800,000 deaths in 2004. Liver
transplantation is the only efficacious option for end-stage
liver cirrhosis. However, it is limited by donor availability,
surgical complications, immunological rejection and
high medical costs. Because of these limitations, there has
been a focus on therapies for advanced liver fibrosis.
