Autophagy prevents irradiation injury and maintains stemness through decreasing ROS generation in mesenchymal stem cells

Stem cells were characterized by their stemness: self-renewal and pluripotency. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a unique type of adult stem cells that have been proven to be involved in tissue repair, immunoloregulation and tumorigenesis. Irradiation is a well-known factor that leads to functional...
