What the studies found
Stem cell treatment has been studied in people with Primary biliary cholangitis, but not in randomised trials.
We found 16 published papers on Stem cell treatment and Primary biliary cholangitis. They were published between 1999 and 2026.
2 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 8 are reviews, 3 are studies in animals and 1 are studies only in the lab.
