This buildup of collagen and other fibrous tissue accelerates when hepatic stellate cells become activated during hepatitis, often resulting in liver cancer or cirrhosis, both of which can be fatal.

The HepaStem cells have immunomodulatory properties, similar to other MSCs, and act on the hepatic stellate cells that drive hepatic fibrosis. These immunomodulatory, antifibrotic, and liver ...
