Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Prevent Steroid-Induced Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head by Modulating Cellular Autophagy
These findings suggest that hUCMSCs protect osteoblasts from GC-induced damage by regulating autophagy, offering new insights into the potential therapeutic use of hUCMSCs for treating ONFH via autophagy enhancement.
