Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Pulmonary Fibrosis?
“Will my lungs get worse even with oxygen?”“Is there a way to repair my lung tissue?”“I’ve read about stem cells. Can they actually help with pulmonary fibrosis?” These are common and urgent questions people ask after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis—especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This progressive lung disease causes scarring of lung tissue, making […]
Revolutionary Breakthrough in Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment
Surrozen Inc. has recently published a study in “Respiratory Research” that showcases the potential of its Wnt mimetic antibody to effectively treat pulmonary fibrosis. Utilizing an acute bleomycin model, this preclinical research demonstrates the antibody’s ability to decrease inflammation and fibrosis while improving lung function. Understanding Pulmonary Fibrosis and Wnt Pathway’s Role Pulmonary fibrosis is […]
