[The clinical experience with hepatocyte transplantation for the treatment of hepatic insufficiency].
Hepatocyte transplantation represents a supplementary strategy for treating liver diseases. Several methods including extracorporeal devices, cell transplantation and implanted tissue-engineered units were proposed as liver support before liver transplantation. The ability to repopulate the liver with healthy and disease-resistant hepatocytes opens up new possibilities for correcting genetic disorders and treating patients with chronic liver diseases. Some results of experimental and clinical therapy of liver diseases are summarized in this review.
