Mesenchymal stem cells microvesicles stabilize endothelial barrier function partly mediated by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells microvesicles (MSC-MVs) stabilize endothelial barrier function in acute lung injury (ALI); however, the detailed mechanism remains to be further defined. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is derived from MSC-MVs, might have a key role in the restoration...
