Abstract
Owing to the increasing worldwide burden of liver diseases, the crucial need for safe and
effective interventions for treating end-stage liver failure has been a very productive
line of inquiry in the discipline of hepatology for many years. Liver transplantation is
recognized as the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease; however, the
shortage of donor organs, high medical costs, and lifelong use of immunosuppressive agents
represent major drawbacks and demand exploration for alternative treatments. Stem
cell-based therapies have been widely studied in the field of liver diseases and are
considered to be among the most promising therapies. Herein, we review recent advances in
the application of stem cell-related therapies in liver disease with the aim of providing
readers with relevant knowledge in this field and inspiration to spur further inquiry.
