Recently I have been hearing more and more of repair stem cells helping lung patients-
pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and COPD are diseases I sometimes see in the news, diseases that repair stem cells can work their magic on thanks to new stem cell research
This story is about a patient suffering from pulmonary hypertension, a disease said to have no cure. Through the miracles of stem cell research- perhaps now there is a cure (or at least a good treatment):
Stem cells offer new hope
Lung therapy. Patient with rare disease taken off of transplant list
Ever since Lucie Moisan developed pulmonary hypertension more than a decade ago, she's often been short of breath. Unable to work, even simple household chores tired her out.Yet last year, she underwent an experimental procedure that holds the promise of reversing her rare disease. Doctors at the Jewish General Hospital harvested stem cells from her blood, genetically re-engineered them in the lab and then infused them into her lungs.The re-engineered cells entered the tiny arteries in her lungs, and helped repair(my favorite word- repair-DM) tissue. Even though the treatment lasted only three days, Moisan said she felt a difference almost immediately."I went out to play tennis for 10 minutes about a week afterward," she recounted yesterday with a smile. "I felt an improvement. It wasn't just psychological. During the three days of the treatment, I saw my (pulmonary blood) pressure go down."Moisan, 45, had been waiting for a lung transplant, but she has responded so well to the stem-cell therapy and other drugs that's she's no longer on the transplant list.No longer on the transplant list- Thank you repair stem cells. You did it again!
