Therapeutic Efficacy of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Bleomycin-Induced Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Comparative Study of Intravenous versus Intratracheal Administration.

Key Points

• The research aims to compare the effectiveness of different delivery routes for adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in treating pulmonary fibrosis.
• Comparative analysis of intravenous versus intratracheal administration of ADSCs
• Assessment of survival and inflammatory response in models with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis
• Evaluation of antifibrotic efficacy
• The delivery route significantly impacts therapeutic outcomes in pulmonary fibrosis
• Intravenous and intratracheal methods showed different effects on inflammatory resolution
• Insights gained may optimize stem cell delivery strategies for clinical use.
