Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibit activation of hepatic stellate cells in vitro and ameliorate rat liver fibrosis in vivo

Previous studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells may ameliorate fibrogenesis through the inhibition of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation. This study aimed to investigate whether adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) could modulate the activation of HSCs and contribute to the re...
