Abstract:

Liver is an exceptional organ due to unique anatomical and physiological features, as well as advanced regenerative ability. Discovery of molecular mechanisms governing liver regeneration allowed researchers to use them to enhance liver regeneration. However, significant progress in this area was achieved through the introduction of gene therapy. In this manuscript, the authors consider stem cells for cell therapy and tissue engineering, as well as an alternative to liver transplantation.
