Understanding COPD
According to the American Lung Association, over
16.4 million people in the United States have
been diagnosed with the condition. However, its
estimated that another 18 million people may have
COPD and not know it. The two main types of COPD
are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Many people
with COPD have a combination of both. Theres
currently no cure for COPD. There are only
treatments to improve quality of life and to slow
the progression of the disease. However, theres
promising research that suggests stem cells may
help treat this type of lung disease.

Possible benefits for COPD
  • COPD causes one or more the following changes in
    the lungs and airways
  • The air sacs and airways lose their ability to
    stretch.
  • The walls of the air sacs are destroyed.
  • The walls of the airways become thickened and
    inflamed.
  • The airways become clogged with mucus.

  • Stem cells are essential to every organism and
    share three main characteristics
  • They can renew themselves through cell division.
  • Although theyre initially indistinguishable,
    they can differentiate themselves and take on the
    properties of several different structures and
    tissues, as the need arises.
  • They can be transplanted into another organism,
    where they will continue to divide and replicate.
