ECM1 modified HF-MSCs targeting HSC attenuate liver cirrhosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway

Abstract Hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) show considerable therapeutic potential for liver cirrhosis (LC). To improve the effectiveness of naïve HF-MSC treatments on LC, we used bioinformatic tools to identify an exogenous gene targeting HSCs among the differentially expressed...
