Application and management of autologous bone marrow stem cells in treatment of liver cirrhosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Liver transplantation is considered the best method for the treatment of liver cirrhosis, but its clinical application is limited by the shortage of liver donors, high costs, and immunological rejection. In recent years, bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) has shown great prospects in the treatment of liver cirrhosis. Recent clinical studies have shown that BMSC therapy is a safe and effective treatment method for liver cirrhosis, but its mechanism remains unclear, and there are various treatment regimens. This article reviews the mechanism of BMSCs in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, route of BMSC delivery, indices for therapeutic effect evaluation, and dose of BMSCs.
