Translational Medicine for Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Liver Disease
Abstract
Translational medicine is a new concept emerging in the field of international biomedicine in recent years. Translational medicine revolves around the transformation of basic research findings into clinical application. Translational medicine has made a huge progress in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of liver diseases, especially diffuse diseases and liver cancer. This paper reviews the development of translational medical research of liver disease, as well as discusses the advancement of liver surgery, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell therapy, genomics, and hepatitis B vaccine.
