EphA2-positive human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells exert anti-fibrosis and immunomodulatory activities via secretion of prostaglandin E2

Objective: Previous study has demonstrated that EphA2 is a biomarker of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human placenta or umbilical cord and is able to distinguish MSCs from fibroblasts. In this study, we further examine the potential efficacy of EphA2+ human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs...
