More Information
Summary:The present disclosure provides methods for treating patients with acute or chronic lung disease or injury to the lungs including injury caused by exposure to cigarette smoke other irritants or another cause of pulmonary distress. Typical conditions that can be treated include conditions that cause inflammation in the lung or the death of lung endothelial cells. Treatment of other conditions such as compromised bone marrow function and cachexia can also be treated by the inventive methods disclosed herein. These methods including contacting Adipose Stem Cells (ASC) or media conditioned by contact with ASC (ASC-CM) or various factors secreted by the same including the media or components of the media with lung tissue and cells. In some instances the ASC used is harvested from the patient's own adipose tissue while in other instances the source is an exogenous donor.
