Abstract:
Liver disease is one of the main causes of human deaths in the world. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for severe liver diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, etc. However, liver transplantation was limited because of donors shortage, and immunological. In recent years, stem cell therapy with the ability of multi-directional differentiation has potential application value in the treatment of patients with liver diseases. However, the mechanisms of stem cell therapy have not yet been fully understood. Stem cells can be detected under in vivo cell imaging. It can noninvasively trace the distribution, migration, proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, and it is an important link to study the mechanism of stem cells in the treatment of liver diseases. Therefore, this review briefly introduces the latest research progress of stem cell in vivo imaging techniques in the field of stem cell diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.
