Abstract:
Hepatocyte transplantation may be a viable alternative treatment to liver transplantation for acute/chronic liver failure and metabolic liver disorders. Hepatocyte transplantation is an effective treatment to support liver function around liver transplantation due to its relatively easy manipulation and mild wound. In recent two decades, hepatocyte transplantation have been applied in clinical treatment and showed some effect in acute/chronic liver failure and metabolic liver disorders. Here, we sum up the status of clinical hepatocyte transplantation, discuss its value in clinical application and some challenges need to resolve.
