Albiflorin inhibits inflammation to improve liver fibrosis by targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in mice

Liver fibrosis is a common pathological feature of chronic hepatic injury that currently lacks effective therapeutic interventions. Albiflorin (ALB), a pinane-type monoterpene derived from Paeonia lactiflora Pall, has notable anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. However, the potential rol...
