Liver disease
Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Disease
Liver disease poses a global health threat, claiming the lives of approximately 2 million people each year. Regrettably, current treatment options for damaged or diseased livers carry substantial challenges. Patients facing severe liver disease often require complete organ transplants, but the scarcity of suitable organs and the high cost of the procedure present formidable barriers. Furthermore, the immunosuppressive drugs required post-transplantation can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. Thankfully, mesenchymal stem cell therapy is emerging as a promising and innovative treatment for individuals with liver disease.
Unlocking the Potential of Stem Cells in Liver Disease
While the liver possesses some regenerative capacity, it can still suffer damage beyond its inherent ability to self-repair. Prolonged alcohol use and continuous injury can trigger the formation of scar tissue as the liver attempts to heal itself. As this scar tissue spreads, the liver’s regenerative capacity becomes severely restricted. This widespread scarring, known as cirrhosis, is typically irreversible, ultimately necessitating a liver transplant.
Mesenchymal stem cells possess a remarkable ability to naturally “home” in on areas of the body in need of repair. In patients grappling with liver disease, these cells can mitigate tissue damage and promote healing and regeneration. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation for various liver conditions, including liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver tumors.
