Stem Cells for Fatty Liver Disease

The liver is the largest solid organ in the body and is vital to the body’s metabolic functions and immune system. It performs a large number of functions such as processing nutrients, extracting energy, filtering toxic chemicals including alcohols from the body, helping in blood clotting, storing iron, and many vitamins, etc. Without a functioning liver, it becomes very difficult for a person to survive.

With the advancements made in regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy is being explored by researchers for curing liver cirrhosis.
