- Hepatic fibrosis involves excessive collagen buildup in the liver, affecting its normal function and structure.
- The study shows that using human amniotic membrane (AM) as a patch on the liver significantly reduces collagen levels in a rat model of biliary fibrosis.
- Results indicated that AM treatment increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12), which helps lower collagen accumulation, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for AM in treating liver fibrosis.
