Abstract:
With the development of regenerative medicine, various stem cells are increasingly considered for treating liver diseases. Various stem cells have been reported to play an essential role in liver recovery, and studies have verified the preliminary effectiveness and safety of these therapies. Stem cell-based therapies will emerge as an effective treatment strategy for liver diseases. Thus, the research progress and challenges to the related stem cells were reviewed, namely the classification of stem cells, cell culture, transplantation, cell tracing in the body, therapies for various liver diseases.
