Funded Activity Summary

Due to improvements in medical care, the survival of very premature babies has greatly improved over the past 20 years. However, many of these children are surviving with disability due to severe chronic lung disease of prematurity. Currently, there are no effective treatments for this lung disease. This project explores the use of placental stem cells as a lung repair and regeneration therapy - a therapy that can be given to the baby in the days immediately following its birth.
