The five years that have elapsed since the last edition of the volume have seen phenomenal advances in our knowledge of hepatological disorders. This exceptionally well-presented volume gives an excellent perspective of current knowledge based on an outstanding list of contributions which will find wide usage on the laboratory bench, as well as in the consulting rooms of those caring for liver patients. BMA Awards 2007 The standard of illustrations - both 'line art' and photographic - are excellent, and the layout of each chapter is aesthetically pleasing. Reading this impressive reference text becomes a joy, rather than a chore, and the subject is really brought to life! I can definitely recommend MacSween's to surgical pathology and forensic pathology trainees alike, and it should certainly be purchased for the departmental library. www.forensicmed.co.uk, 2007

This is an important part of progressive liver disease and an essential component for the development of cirrhosis. He played a pivotal role in establishing the principal cell type involved in fibrogenesis is the hepatic stellate cell and was the first to characterise their cell kinetics in the response to injury establishing that there is not only proliferation of these cells in response to necrosis but a phenotypic modulation to myofibroblast-like cell Linda Ferrell, M.D. is a liver pathologist, Professor of Pathology, Vice Chair of Clinical Services, and Director of Surgical Pathology at UCSF.
