Preterm birth occurs in approximately 11 % of all births worldwide. Advances in perinatal care have enabled the survival of preterm infants born as early as 23-24 weeks of gestation. However, many are affected by bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-a common respiratory complication of preterm birth, which has life-long consequences for lung health. Currently, there is no specific treatment for BPD. Recent advances in stem cell research have opened new therapeutic avenues for prevention/repair of lung damage. This review summarizes recent pre-clinical data and early clinical translation of cell-based therapies for BPD.
全球约11%的分娩为早产。围产期护理的进步使妊娠23 - 24周出生的早产儿得以存活。然而,许多早产儿受支气管肺发育不良(BPD)影响,这是早产常见的呼吸系统并发症,会对肺部健康产生终身影响。目前,BPD尚无特效治疗方法。干细胞研究的最新进展为预防/修复肺损伤开辟了新的治疗途径。本综述总结了近期关于BPD细胞疗法的临床前数据和早期临床转化情况。
