Negligible contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to collagen production during hepatic fibrogenesis in mice.
BACKGROUND and AIMS: Recent studies have reported that bone marrow (BM)-derived cells migrating into fibrotic liver tissue exhibit a myofibroblast-like phenotype and may participate in the progression of liver fibrosis. However, their contribution to collagen production has not been fully verified...
