Abstract (original English)
Millions of people worldwide with incurable liver disease die because of inadequate treatment options and limited availability of donor organs for liver transplantation. Regenerative medicine as an innovative approach to repairing and replacing cells, tissues, and organs is undergoing a major revolution due to the unprecedented need for organs for patients around the world. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been widely studied in the field of liver regeneration and are considered to be the most promising candidate therapies. This review will conclude the current state of efforts to derive human iPSCs for potential use in the modeling and treatment of liver disease.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
