Po‐sung Chu, Nobuhiro Nakamoto, Hirotoshi Ebinuma, Shingo Usui, Keita Saeki, Atsuhiro Matsumoto, Yohei Mikami, Kazuo Sugiyama, Kengo Tomita, Takanori Kanai, Hidetsugu Saito, Toshifumi Hibi – 4 March 2013 – Chemokine receptors mediate migration of immune cells into the liver, thereby promoting liver inflammation.
