Brief Summary: Recently mesenchymal stem cell MSC transplantation has emerged as a promising treatment for liver cirrhosis in adults Additionally bone marrow-derived stem cell transplantation has shown success in treating children with biliary atresia BA This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell UC-MSC therapy in BA through a multicentric randomized controlled trial
Detailed Description: Biliary atresia BA is the most common cause of chronic cholestasis in neonates and accounts for at least 50 of pediatric liver transplants The incidence of BA is estimated to range from 15000 to 119000 live births If the operation is not performed all patients will die due to complications of liver cirrhosis Recently mesenchymal stem cell MSC transplantation has been found to be a promising treatment for liver cirrhosis in adults Stem cell transplantation derived from bone marrow has also been successfully applied to children with BA The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell UC-MSC therapy in BA by planning a multicentric randomized controlled trial
