Significantly enhanced recovery of acute liver failure by liver targeted delivery of stem cells via heparin functionalization.
MouseChemical/toxinIntravenous administrationAfter acetaminophen challenge
Model: Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure
Heparin-coated stem cells showed greater hepatic delivery and retention and returned serum transaminases to normal faster than uncoated cells, with reduced inflammatory markers and improved liver histology.
