unfortunately i do not know the answer to your question. there is a lot of research using stem cells and gene therapy in several different liver diseases but i do not think it is close to clinical application

Thank you for your answer. Since I am in stage 4 hepC and have no money, I am willing to volunteer for any such research program. Would you have any idea where to go next? I have been following a diet to keep myself stable, but I still face liver failure and am willing to donate the time I have left to help others.
