Liver disease is a major health issue which present poor clinical treatment performance. Cirrhosis and liver failure are common clinical manifestations of liver diseases. Liver transplantation is recognized as the ultimate and most efficient therapy to the end stage of liver disease. But it was limited by the shortage of honor organs and high cost. Nowadays, stem cell therapy gained more and more attention due to its attractive efficacy in treating liver disease especially in cirrhosis during the clinical trials.

This review will highlight recent clinical applications of MSC, providing the available evidence and discussing some unsolved questions in treating liver disease.
