Mitochondrial transfer mechanism of stem cells for therapy of lung injury / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

Stem cells transfer normal functional mitochondria to injured lung cells and reconstruct their function, which is one of the important mechanisms of stem cells in the treatment of lung injury. Mitochondrial translocation is mediated by intercellular gap junction (GJCs), which is unidirectional. This paper reviewed the research of stem cells for the treatment of lung injury mitochondrial transfer mechanism, to understand the clinical significance of lung mitochondria in physiological and pathological roles of mitochondria and transfer mechanisms of stem cells for the treatment of various types of lung injury.
