Abstract
Fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and proliferation fibrous tissue, a condition associated with various chronic diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, inflammation of the lungs, and myocarditis. Clinical treatment options for fibrotic diseases are currently limited and have poor efficacy. However, recent studies have increasingly demonstrated that polysaccharides exhibit significant antifibrotic activity by modulating cell proliferation and migration, inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress associated fibrosis, and regulating gut microbiota. This review provides an overview of recent advances in polysaccharide research for antifibrosis and offers new perspectives on the treatment of fibrotic diseases.
