The search for reparative cells that can contribute to the process of lung regeneration, whether called progenitors or stem cells, has been fueled by the need for improved clinical therapies to treat patients suffering from the burden of diseases that arise from injury or degeneration of lung tissue.
At the Lung Institute, we screen each patient thoroughly, focusing on medical history and current condition to encourage only the best-possible treatment results. Using the natural maintenance capabilities of stem cells, we first withdraw and separate the patientâs stem cells from their blood or bone marrow. We then reintroduce the stem cells into the body where they come to rest inside the lungs, promoting both natural healing and inflammation reduction. To learn more about how stem cells work, review our Stem Cell Treatment Basics and discover how stem cell therapy can work to affect your quality of life.
