Quantitative real-time measurement of endothelin-1-induced contraction in single non-activated hepatic stellate cells.

Although quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) have been suggested to regulate hepatic blood flow, there is no direct evidence that quiescent HSCs display contractile abilities. Here, we developed a new method to quantitatively measure the contraction of single isolated HSCs and evaluated whether...
