HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Zhi-Yong Li from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: Contribution of tissue transglutaminase to the severity of hepatic fibrosis resulting from Schistosoma japonicum infection through the regulation of IL-33/ST2 expression, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: This study investigated the link between tTG and IL-33/ST2 in the induction of fibrogenesis during Sj infection in mice.
• how: The IHC results showed that IL-33 was mostly expressed in the cells of the outer rim of the granulomas whereas ST2 was essentially expressed inside granulomas where macrophages are extensively present . . .
