  • Macrophages, a new hope for the treatment of liver fibrosis

    Evidence from numerous animal models and clinical studies in recent years has demonstrated that macrophages play an important role in the regulation of liver fibrosis regression. The safety and efficacy of utilizing autologous macrophages for the treatment of liver fibrosis have been demonstrated in patients and shows promising application prospects, but the therapeutic effects need to be improved. Cirrhotic liver undergoes a process of marked extracellular matrix degradation after partial hepatectomy surgery, and single-cell sequencing identified multiple restorative macrophage subsets that express different matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) at high levels. Future efforts to further characterize this population of macrophages and improve their enrichment in the liver may allow macrophage therapy to be a highly effective strategy to reverse liver fibrosis.
