Engraftment of Bone Marrow–derived Stem Cells to the Lung in a Model of Acute Respiratory Infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
5 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Stem cell therapy presents an attractive approach to cure cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. We set out to investigate the effect of epithelial damage caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogenic bacterium widely occurring in CF, on the engraftment of bone marrow cells in airway epithelium. Intravenous or intratracheal administration of unfractionated green fluorescent protein (GFP(+)) bone marrow cells in P....
