First, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are introduced as a therapy for liver fibrosis, then the steps before transplantation (culture, strategies, and the choice of transplantation route) are discussed. After that, the efficiency of BM-MSCs for liver fibrosis in vivo are explained through studies that research the efficiency, studies that compare the therapy to other medication sources, and the strategies to enhance the therapeutic efficiency.
