Abstract:
Objective
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have recently been reported as an unlimited source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The
present study not only provides an identical and clinically compliant MSC source derived from hESCs (hESC-MSCs), but also
describes the immunomodulative effects of hESC-MSCs in vitro and in vivo for a carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver inflammation model.
