Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Stem cells with active homing function and regulation has a great application prospect to lung regeneration due to the lung tissue with complex structure and long disease cycle.
OBJECTIVE: To overally understand the progress of adult stem cells in treatment of lung diseases and injury.
METHODS: The first author retrieved PuMed for articles about adult stem cells for lung injury published before 2011. Repetitive articles were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 135 articles were retrieved, and finally 50 articles were included in result analysis. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells as the representative of adult stem cells have a strong multi-differentiation potential for the treatment of lung disease, which can involved in wound healing and tissue regeneration. However, the therapeutical mechanism and related influential factors need further studies.
