Increased matrix stiffness promotes fibrogenesis of hepatic stellate cells through AP-1-induced chromatin priming

Abstract Matrix stiffness has significant effects on cell behavior, however, less is known regarding the epigenomic and transcriptional regulation underling the effect of matrix stiffness on cells. In this study, we use an in vitro system to assess the phenotypic shifts of hepatic stellate cells (HS...
