Milder Blood Stem Cell Transplants Preserves Lung Function in Sickle Cell Patients
An NIH study found that lung function remained stable or improved after patients with sickle cell disease underwent low-intensity blood stem cell transplants.

Five lung stem cell variants dominate the lungs of patients with advanced cystic fibrosis (CF), and these variants drive key aspects of CF pathology including inflammation, fibrosis, and mucin secretion, according to new research.
Researchers discovered a new cell state in embryonic airway development—overlooked until now—that they say may pave the way for new approaches to treating chronic respiratory diseases.
