Stromal support is critical for lung homeostasis and the maintenance of an effective
epithelial barrier. Despite this, previous studies have found a positive association between …

Until recently, data supporting the tissue-resident status of mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSC) has been ambiguous since their discovery in the 1950–60s. These progenitor cells …

Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have not only been implicated in the
development of lung diseases, but they have also been proposed as a future cell-based …

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells are multipotent adult cells that can be extracted from
numerous tissues, including the lungs. Lung-resident MSCs (LR-MSCs) are localized to …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may provide crucial support in the regeneration of
destructed alveolar tissue (emphysema) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) reside in many organs including lung, as shown by their
isolation from fetal lung tissues, bronchial stromal compartment, bronchial-alveolar lavage …

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are a fibroblast-like cell population with high
regenerative potential that can be isolated from many different tissues. Several data suggest …

Identification of appropriate donor cell types is important for lung cell therapy and for lung
regeneration. Previous studies have indicated that mesenchymal stromal cells derived from …

CHRONIC LUNG DISEASES such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and
emphysema are anticipated to become the third most common cause of death by 2030 (30) …

While multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells have been recently isolated from adult lung (L-
MSCs), there is very limited data on their biological properties and therapeutic potential in …
