Abstract

Increasing severity of cirrhosis causes derangement of the hematopoietic niche and loss of HSCs, contributing to the hematological and immunological dysfunctions and reduced potential for regeneration; restoring BM functions could provide new therapeutic options in cirrhosis. (Hepatology 2016;64:1273-1288).
