Abstract:Liver fibrosis is characterized by excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, and subsequent extracellular matrix deposition. Since complex pathways regulate HSC activation, the single‐drug therapy efficacy for live fibrosis often falls short of expectations. To address this issue, an HSC‐targeted multifunctional nanoparticle (NP) delivery system co‐loaded with cyclopamine (Cyc; hedgehog inhibitor) and bilirubin (BR; ROS‐scavenger) is designed. The NP, termed RHB, … Show more
