Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease in which the lungs become progressively more rigid due to scarring that develops over time. This obstructs the lungs’ ability to function properly, leading to respiratory problems such as chronic cough and difficulty breathing. The exact cause is not always known but may be related to factors such as age, exposure to toxic substances, or infections. Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease with no cure, but medical treatment and therapy can help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for affected individuals.

Stem cell therapy can help in pulmonary fibrosis by contributing to the repair and regeneration of damaged lung tissues. Stem cells can differentiate into specialized lung cells, which can help reduce excessive scarring in the lungs, a hallmark of pulmonary fibrosis. This can improve lung function, alleviate respiratory symptoms such as difficulty breathing and coughing.
