Application of stem cell transplantation in children with interstitial lung disease / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Interstitial lung disease(ILD) is a group of pulmonary diseases including clinical common diseases and clinical rare diseases.The etiology of some of these diseases is unknown, and drug treatment is difficult, so stem cell transplantation is considered to treat ILD.Stem cells have the advantage of chemotaxis to damaged tissues, so stem cell transplantation for ILD is feasible.In recent years, the research of stem cell transplantation for treatment of ILD has been increasing gradually, but the review of stem cell transplantation for treatment of ILD in children is scarce.This paper reviews the recent advances in the treatment of ILD by stem cell transplantation, including the pathological features, treatment, prognosis and application prospects.
