CINC-2 and miR-199a-5p in EVs secreted by transplanted Thy1+ cells activate hepatocytic progenitor cell growth in rat liver regeneration
Abstract Background Small hepatocyte-like progenitor cells (SHPCs) are hepatocytic progenitor cells that transiently form clusters in rat livers treated with retrorsine (Ret) that underwent 70% partial hepatectomy (PH).We previously reported that transplantation of Thy1+ cells obtained from d-galactosamine-treated livers promotes SHPC expansion, th
