Liver transplantation is the only effective treatment of ACLF, but this therapy is limited by the shortage of donor organs, potential surgical complications, immunological rejection and high medical costs. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is one of adult stem cells, which has been suggested to play a role in amelioration of liver disease, such as: trans-differentiation of MSCs into hepatocytes, immunomodulation, inhibition of fibrosis development, protective effects on hepatic cell and restoration of hepatic cell proliferation capacity.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '16 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
