Effect of Transplanted Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Liver Functions in Experimental Liver Fibrosis in Rats
Liver failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which organ transplantation is the only definitive therapy. The idea of stem cells suggests the probability of renewable sources of new tissues to treat many kinds of diseases, conditions, and disabilities. The present study aims to investigate the effect of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on liver functions and degree of ...
