4-methylumbelliferone-mediated polarization of M1 macrophages correlate with decreased hepatocellular carcinoma aggressiveness in mice

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises in the setting of advanced liver fibrosis, a dynamic and complex inflammatory disease. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a mixture of cellular components including cancer cells, cancer stem cells (CSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), and dendrit...
