Hepatic stellate cell has been shown to be a specific marker with which hepatic stellate cells can be distinguished from portal myofibroblasts in the damaged human liver. In murine liver, Reelin expressed by Ito cells has been shown to be a reliable marker in discerning them from other myofibroblasts. The expression of reelin is increased after liver injury. In normal liver, stellate cells are described as being in a "quiescent" state. Quiescent stellate cells represent 5-8% of the total number of liver cells. Each cell has several long protrusions that extend from the cell body and wrap around the sinusoids. The lipid droplets
Adjective where English uses "to be hungry" ("hungry" being an adjective), Dutch, French, and Spanish use "honger hebben", "avoir faim", and "tener hambre" respectively (literally "to have hunger", the words for "hunger" being nouns). Similarly, where Hebrew uses the adjective זקוק "zaqūq" (roughly "in need of"), English uses the verb "to need".

However, Bantu languages are well known for having only a small closed class of adjectives, and new
