Stem cells in the treatment of cholestasis
Stem cell therapy holds promise for treating cholestasis, a condition characterized by bile acid accumulation in the liver. La recherche suggère que les cellules souches peuvent se différencier en hépatocytes, bile duct cells, and other liver cells, potentially restoring liver function and alleviating symptoms. Cependant, further studies are needed to optimize cell delivery, determine optimal cell types, and address safety concerns.
