  • CONCLUSIONS: Telomere dysfunction mediates HSC transdifferentiation during experimental hepatic fibrogenesis. Targeted interventions - that increase telomerase activity or TPP1 mediated telomerase recruitment and activation - alleviate HSC-mediated fibrosis. Pharmacological administration of TELODIN effectively attenuates experimental liver fibrosis by restoring telomere homeostasis in HSCs.
