Core Tip	Cirrhosis is the end-stage condition of many types of chronic liver diseases but the underlying mechanisms are far from being clarified. Multiple cellular and molecular factors might be involved in the initiation and progression of cirrhosis. Activation of hepatic stellate cells is a pivotal event in the development of cirrhosis. Animal models are crucial for understanding the pathogenesis and the development of more efficient therapeutic strategies for cirrhosis, with which cirrhosis may become a treatable or even a reversible disease.
