Liver regeneration is the process by which the liver is able to replace damaged or lost liver tissue. The liver is the only visceral organ with the capacity to regenerate. [1] [2] The liver can regenerate after partial hepatectomy or injury due to hepatotoxic agents such as certain medications, toxins, or chemicals. [3]
H1.00.01.0.00035. Anatomical terms of microanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development, that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells (from Greek σωματικóς, meaning of the body ), they can ...
Stem-cell therapy uses stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. [1] As of 2016, the only established therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [2] This usually takes the form of a bone marrow transplantation, but the cells can also be derived from umbilical cord blood.
Liver transplantation is the only curative therapy for end-stage liver disease, and the liver is the second most frequently transplanted solid organ. Pancreatic transplantation is a complex surgical procedure performed in patients with severe chronic diabetes, often in association with renal transplantation.
Regenerative medicine. A colony of human embryonic stem cells. Regenerative medicine deals with the "process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human or animal cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function". [1] This field holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own repair ...
The German Society for Stem Cell Research ( Deutsche Gesellschaft für Stammzellforschung or GSZ ), established in 2003 by Juergen Hescheler, brings scientists from around Germany together and has an emphasis on basic research in stem cell biology. The main purpose of the society is to promote stem cell research.
A liver support system or diachysis is a type of therapeutic device to assist in performing the functions of the liver. Such systems focus either on removing the accumulating toxins ( liver dialysis ), or providing additional replacement of the metabolic functions of the liver through the inclusion of hepatocytes to the device ( bioartificial ...
Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. Bone marrow transplant is a form of stem cell therapy that has been used for many years because it has proven to be effective in clinical trials.
