Liver cirrhosis is a late- stage hepatic fibrosis,which results from various risk factors such as viruses,alcohol,fat,drugs and immunity,and genetic metabolism,leading to chronic liver damage.

Stem cell therapy becomes a hot spot of research due to its huge potential for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. However,its mechanism remains unclear with many pending problems.
