Lipid-Droplet Remodeling in Hepatic Stellate Cells in Liver Fibrosis: An Evidence-Tiered Synthesis of Lipophagy, Retinoid Metabolism, and Organelle Crosstalk
In quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), lipid droplets (LDs) constitute specialized retinoid-rich storage organelles. Upon hepatic injury, various characteristics of LDs—including their abundance, size, composition, retinoid storage capacity, mobilization dynamics, metabolic flux, and associated cell signaling path...
