The intrahepatic wound healing and regenerative niche in CDE-induced chronic liver injury in mice. Confocal microscopy of 2-week CDE-injured mouse liver shows the close association of PanCK+ liver progenitor cells with both αSMA+ activated hepatic stellate cells and CD45+ inflammatory cells. The spatial proximity of all three cell types suggests the potential for cellular cross-talk and co-regulation of the inflammatory, fibrogenic, and progenitor cell responses. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars represent 50 μm.
