Liver Cell Biology in Hepatic Diseases SIG: Organelle Trafficking and Lipid Droplets Biology
Recorded On: 11/09/2018
This program discusses different, yet related, basic molecular mechanisms of hepatic damage and inflammation fundamental for the development of various types of liver diseases. Discussions will cover the mechanisms for vesicle formation and endocytosis, how secretion of exosomes occurs upon inflammasome activation, the impact of immune cell-derived vesicles on fibrosis and the process of collagen secretion. The second part of the program focuses on novel signaling pathways involved in disease resolution.
This program will provide an excellent opportunity to learn the basic molecular mechanisms of hepatic damage and inflammation fundamental for the development of various types of liver diseases.
