Role of the Microenvironment in Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Strategies for Treating Human Liver Diseases

Liver disease is a severe health problem that endangers human health worldwide. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a novel treatment for patients with different liver diseases due to its vast expansion potential and distinctive immunomodulatory properties. Despite several preclinical trials havi...
