Abstract:
Lung injury is a group of lung inflammation and fibrosis diseases which is caused by a variety of reasons.There is no specific and effective treatment for it.Late irreversible damage is an important factor that cause respiratory dysfunction even the death of patients.Therefore,finding a breakthrough in the treatment of lung injury is one of the research focuses.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)can migrate to lung and participate in reconstruction of injured lung.MSCs can be obtained and cultivated easily,and has characteristics of strong plasticity and immune tolerance.
