HGF and Hepatic fibrosis: Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promoted liver repair by secreting HGF in [55], while menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells suppressed activated hepatic stellate cells via the paracrine activation of HGF and other mediators in [56], and the endothelial progenitor cells’ transplantation induced beneficial effects in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis by activated HGF-mediated hepatocyte proliferation in [57].
