Description

Stem cells taken from a patient's own fat calmed scar forming lung cells in the dish, report Noriko Ouji-Sageshima and co-authors in a 2024 study. The disease in view is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive lung scarring with a median survival of three years and no effective drug therapy.

Lung cells from patients, grown beside the fat derived stem cells, turned down their fibrosis genes. The stem cells raised a brake protein that quiets a growth signal inside the lung cells. Given through a vein, the cells also eased scarring in mice with drug induced lung injury. The authors offer the cells as a treatment candidate.
