Changes of ECM and CAM gene expression profile in the cirrhotic liver after HCV infection: analysis by cDNA expression array.

abstract：:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are cells of stromal origin which exhibit unlimited self-renewal capacity and pluripotency in vitro. It has recently been observed that MSC may also exert a profound immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect both in vitro and in vivo with consequent potential use in autoimmune disorde...
