description Transplantation is currently the treatment of choice for end-stage liver diseases but is burdened by the shortage of donor organs. Livers from so-called extended-criteria donors represent a valid option to overcome organ shortage, but they are at risk for severe post-operative complications, especially when preserved with conventional static cold storage. Machine perfusion technology reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury and allows viability assessment of these organs, limiting their discard rate and improving short- and long-term outcomes after transplantation. Moreover, by keeping the graft metabolically active, the normothermic preservation technique guarantees a unique platform to administer regenerative therapies ex vivo. With their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, mesenchymal stem cells are among the most promising sources of therapies for acute and chronic liver failure, but their routine clinical application is limited by several biosafety concerns. It is emerging that dynamic preservation and stem cell therapy may supplement each other if combined, as machine perfusion can be used to deliver stem cells to highly injured grafts, avoiding potential systemic side effects. The aim of this narrative review is to provide a comprehensive overview on liver preservation techniques and mesenchymal stem cell-based therapies, focusing on their application in liver graft reconditioning.
