Figure 5
Comparison of the processes of fibrosis between two CCl4 injection conditions. Panels (a) and (b) show simulated liver lobules after 100 steps. CCl4 was injected thrice (a) and twice (b). Hepatocytes (brown), dead cells (grey), and collagens secreted from myofibroblasts and portal fibroblasts (blue and green). The initial conditions before simulation are depicted in Fig. S2. Time courses of the number of collagen agents (c), dead cells (d), and TNF-α (e). Orange and blue circles indicate the timing of CCl4 injections.
