Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious disease where the lungs become scarred causing the lungs to thicken & harden. Hardening of the passageways makes it difficult for oxygen to pass through the air sacs known as alveoli into the bloodstream. Lack of oxygen leaves sufferers of pulmonary fibrosis short of breath even after prolonged rest. Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis or IPF is a progressive disease and gets worse over time.
Pulmonary fibrosis is included in a family of conditions referred to as interstitial lung disease.
stem cell therapy for lung disease and interstitial lung disease seeks to reverse the condition to repair the lung and return proper function
