Abstract:
Recently, hepatocyte transplantation has been documented to be effective in the treatment of numerous hepatic diseases, including acute and chronic liver failure, genetic liver diseases, cirrhosis, and so on. Before it is widely used in clinic, there are a lot of problems to solve, such as the lack of cell source, cell proliferation, and immunological rejection. This review focuses on recent progress in the study of hepatocyte transplantation with respect to the animal model, cell source, and the existing problems, at the same time addressing the prospect of traditional Chinese materia medica on hepatocyte transplantation.
