Stem cell therapy may offer hope for acute lung injury
Now adult stem cells from bone marrow can prevent acute lung injury. Acute lung injury (ALI) is responsible for an estimated 74,500 deaths in the U.S. each year. ALI can be caused by any major inflammation or injury to the lungs and is a major cause of death in patients in hospital. There is no effective drug treatment. In ALI, the layer of cells that forms the lining of the blood vessels surrounding the lung’s air sacs is damaged, allowing fluid to leak in and fill the sacs. Repair of t... Readmore
