liver fibrosis, dendritic cells govern hepatic inflammation in mice via tnf-α

Title: In liver fibrosis, dendritic cells govern hepatic inflammation in mice via tnf-α

Summary: "After liver injury, DCs gained a marked capacity to induce hepatic stellate cells, NK cells, and T cells to mediate inflammation, proliferation, and production of potent immune responses. The proinflammatory and immunogenic effects of fibrotic DCs were contingent on their production of TNF-α."
