## Abstract ## Background Bone marrowβderived liver stem cells (BDLSCs) are very robust cells that can differentiate into liver epithelial cells. These stem cells are promising targets for gene therapy treatment of liver diseases. Liver fibrosis results from chronic liver damage characterized by a
Cholecystectomy in patients with advanced cirrhosis is associated with excessive morbidity and mortality. Because open cholecystectomy in patients with Child's class C cirrhosis has a reported mortality rate as high as 83%, symptomatic gallbladder disease in patients awaiting orthotopic liver transp
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has traditionally not been an option for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). This retrospective study was designed to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of PCI in liver transplant candidates. Patients with ESLD
