Lira, Tom Luedde, Tania Roskams, Christian Trautwein, Felix Heymann, Frank Tacke – 19 August 2013 – Chronic liver injury promotes hepatic inflammation, representing a prerequisite for organ fibrosis. We hypothesized a contribution of chemokine receptor CCR6 and its ligand, CCL20, which may regulate migration of T‐helper (Th)17, regulatory, and gamma‐delta (γδ) T cells.
