Abstract excerpt
Liver transplantation is the only radical treatment for decompensated cirrhosis, but its use is limited owing to a shortage of donors; hence, there is an urgent need for new treatments. Previously, we developed a liver-regeneration therapy using autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which is under clinical investigation. Cell-cell interactions between BMSCs and macrophages (Mφs)...
