MSCs protect against CCl₄-induced acute liver injury. (a) Liver alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels. n = 4 per group; mean ± SD; t-test (^∗ p < 0.05 vs. CCl₄). (b) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of mouse livers. (c) Kaplan–Meier plots for mouse survival after injection of CCl₄ (1.5 mL/kg), followed by MSC administration 6 h later. n = 22 mice for each bar (^∗ p < 0.05 vs. CCl₄). (d) TUNEL staining of liver sections and DAPI were applied for nucleus staining, representative of images with similar results. Oil: olive oil control; c: CCl₄-treated group; m: MSC-transplanted group. 48 h, 1 w, and 2 w indicate 48 hours, 1 week, and 2 weeks after CCl₄ treatment, respectively.
