Lung Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Development and Disease: To Serve and Protect?

Abstract excerpt

SIGNIFICANCE: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a disease of the developing lung that afflicts extreme preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Follow-up studies into adulthood show that BPD is not merely a problem of the neonatal period, as it also may predispose to early-onset emphysema and poor lung function in later life. RECENT ADVANCES: The increasing promise of bone marrow- or umbilical...
