Researchers detail in "Lung tissue engineering technique with adipose stromal cells improves surgical outcome for pulmonary emphysema," new data in angiogenesis. "RATIONALE AND Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent regenerative factor generated after a lung injury, and HGF supplementation after surgical reduction has been shown to enhance compensatory growth in remnant lungs and improve pathophysiologic conditions in a rat model of emphysema. Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) produce a large amount of angiogenic factors, including HGF," scientists in Osaka, Japan report. "After lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS), we treated rats by implanting...
