Enhanced Effectivity of an ALK5-Inhibitor after Cell-Specific Delivery to Hepatic Stellate Cells in Mice with Liver Injury

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a major pro-fibrotic cytokine, causing the overproduction of extracellular matrix molecules in many fibrotic diseases. Inhibition of its type-I receptor (ALK5) has been shown to effectively inhibit fibrosis in animal models. However, apart from its pro-fibroti...
