Particularly with MSCs, stem cell therapy for lungs disease has surfaced as a therapeutic method to restore damaged alveolar structures and enhance pulmonary function.

IPF has few therapy choices; most of them seek to halt the course of the disease rather than undo the harm. Stem cell treatment provides a creative solution by stopping or reversing the fibrotic process. Preclinical research has indicated that MSCs can travel to areas of lung damage, lower collagen deposition, and support the survival of current lung cells.

Researchers are increasingly looking to induced pluripotent stem cells, which can be created from a patient's own skin or blood cells and reprogrammed to a stem-like condition, to avoid ethical questions and lower the possibility of immunological rejection to allay these worries.

Another major challenge is delivering stem cells to the right location of lung tissue. Though more focused delivery technologies are being investigated to guarantee the stem cells reach the precise spot of damage, current techniques call for intravenous infusion.

Conclusion

Stem cell treatment for lung illness sits at the crossroads of invention and hope. The high price of stem cell treatment can also restrict its availability, so it is crucial to create reasonably priced procedures that can be expanded for broad clinical applications.
