<p>Liver diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, pose significant public health challenges, ranking as the twelfth leading cause of death globally. Given the liver’s critical functions in metabolism, detoxification, and biosynthesis, its impairment can lead to severe consequences, often resulting in end-stage liver failure. Although liver transplantation is regarded as the definitive intervention for advanced liver disease, factors such as a shortage of donors and potential surgical complications necessitate the investigation of non-surgical regenerative medicine alternatives. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of innovative non-surgical therapies aimed at liver regeneration, with an emphasis on both cell-based and cell-free approaches. It examines the contributions of various stem cell populations, including mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells, in facilitating liver repair through mechanisms of differentiation and paracrine signaling. Furthermore, it explores the therapeutic potential of exosomes and conditioned media derived from stem cells as biotherapeutic agents in the context of regenerative medicine. By elucidating the mechanisms that underpin liver regeneration, this study aspires to inform the development of effective therapeutic strategies to address liver diseases and slow their progression. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms of liver regeneration, this study aims to contribute to the development of effective therapeutic strategies to address liver diseases and slow their progression.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
