In Sweden, the physicians proposed to treat with stem cells damage the lung tissue, which are the main complications when infected with coronavirus. About this newspaper “Izvestia”.
According to the newspaper, the stem cells are able to prevent overreaction of the immune system which leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) — a condition in which the lungs lose their ability to saturate the blood with oxygen. Excessive inflammatory reaction disrupts gas exchange.
researchers from Sweden have found a way to prevent this condition. It is the use of mesenchymal stromal cells for the treatment of ARDS. These cells are able to control the immune system.
the chief Physician of hospital in Kommunarka Denis Protsenko, quoted by the publication, said that more than 80 percent of patients infected with the coronavirus, dying from ARDS. This is a specific reaction to infection with coronavirus — the scientific rationale of this feature yet.
