Core Tip Crosstalk between neutrophils and hepatic stellate cells is a crucial regulatory axis that determines whether liver injury resolves or progresses to fibrosis. This interaction is highly context- and stage-dependent. During acute injury, it triggers transient reparative signaling; however, in diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, it promotes persistent pathological activation. Targeting specific nodes within this crosstalk (e.g., neutrophil extracellular traps, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3, transforming growth factor-β) enables a precision-remodeling strategy, offering stage-specific anti-fibrotic interventions while preserving essential immune repair functions.
