Guixé-Muntet, Sergi, Ortega-Ribera, Martí, Wang, Cong, Selicean, Sonia, Andreu, Ion, Kechagia, Jenny Z., Fondevila, Constantino, Roca-Cusachs, Pere, Dufour, Jean-François, Bosch, Jaime, Berzigotti, Annalisa, Gracia-Sancho, Jordi, (2020). Nuclear deformation mediates liver cell mechanosensing in cirrhosis JHEP Reports 2, (5), 100145

Background & AimsLiver stiffness is increased in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) and accurately predicts prognosis in this population. Recent data suggest that extracellular matrix stiffness per se may modulate the phenotype of liver cells. We aimed at investigating the effect of matrix stiffness on the phenotype of liver cells of rats with cirrhosis, assessing its influence on their response to antifibrotic strategies and evaluating associated molecular mechanisms.
