Airway Progenitor/Stem Cells for Treatment of Pulmonary Disorders and Lung Allografts
- 详细技术说明
- Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital are developing a novel therapy where airway progenitor/stem cells are collected and then administered to patients with pulmonary disorders and lung transplants.
- *Abstract
-
Progressive lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, primarily ciliary dyskinesia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and few others have no cure, with many of these patients requiring lung transplants. Even after transplant, these patients can develop chronic lung allograft dysfunction, commonly in the form of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, which leads to the need for another lung transplant or death. With no cure, cell therapy could make a significant impact on numerous pulmonary diseases and allograft complications. Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital are developing a novel therapy where airway progenitor/stem cells are collected and then administered to patients with pulmonary disorders and lung transplants.
