Résumé

Liver fibrosis is the major driver for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver disease related death. Approved anti-fibrotic therapies are absent and compounds in development have limited efficacy. Increased TGF-β signaling drives collagen deposition by hepatic stellate cells (HSC)/myofibroblasts. Here, we aimed to dissect the role of the circadian clock (CC) in controlling TGF-β signaling and liver fibrosis.
