Core Tip
Core tip: This systematic review analyzes the current status of transplantation treatments in place of liver organ transplantation from multiple viewpoints. We classified reports into three types: Xeno-organ transplantation, scaffold-based transplantation, and cell transplantation. Clinical application occurred for cell transplantation with hepatocytes and mesenchymal stem cells; however, the effect was limited. On the other hand, scaffold-based transplantation is a comprehensive treatment that combines organ transplantation and cell transplantation. Future research for clinical application is expected. The present article provides researchers with a summary and updated information on recent trends in alternatives to liver transplantation and support for future research.
