Hypoxia Enhances Protective Effect of Placental-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Damaged Intestinal Epithelial Cells by Promoting Secretion of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1
Apoptosis and necrosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, can lead to dysfunction of the intestinal barrier, which could cause multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential of providing protective effects on...
