Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can provide an additional source of therapeutic stem cells for regeneration of liver cells during acute liver injury (ALI). However, the insufficient hepatic homing by the transplanted BMSCs limits their applications. Ultrasound-targeted...
