In some cases, acute lung injury develops into a more serious condition, known as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Acute_respiratory_distress_syndrome\">acute respiratory distress syndrome<\/a>, and results in insufficient oxygenation of blood and eventual organ failure. &#8230;  <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inflammation\">inflammation<\/a> due to injury or infection can make the border of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Epithelium\">epithelial cells<\/a> become more porous than it should be. The increased permeability allows an often-deadly mix of substances, such as fluid and cells, to seep into and accumulate in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pulmonary_alveolus\">alveoli<\/a>. &#8230; The team decided to re-create the unhealthy lung conditions in the lab &#8211; by culturing human alveolar cells and then chemically causing inflammation &#8211; and to observe how the presence of bone marrow stem cells would change things. &#8230; We then introduced <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mesenchymal_stem_cell\">mesenchymal stem cells<\/a> without direct cell contact, and they churned out a lot of protein, called <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angiopoietin\">angiopoietin-1<\/a>, which prevented the increase in lung epithelial permeability after the inflammatory injury &#8230; [researchers] hope clinical trials will prove the therapy is a viable one for preventing respiratory failure in critically ill patients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>View the Article Under Discussion: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2010\/08\/100811162352.htm\">http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2010\/08\/100811162352.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read More Longevity Meme Commentary: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\" \/>http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via ScienceDaily, an example of the sometimes indirect way in which stem cell transplants can cause benefits: &#8220;Acute lung injury is brought on by a number of conditions, such as pneumonia and sepsis, also known as blood poisoning.
