Fecal transplantation alleviates acute liver injury in mice through regulating Treg/Th17 cytokines balance

Abstract Changes in intestinal microecology during acute liver failure (ALF) directly affect the occurrence and development of the disease. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and the key immune cells. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was used to d...
