Abstract:Silicosis is an irreversible chronic pulmonary disease caused by long‐term inhalation and deposition of silica particles, which is currently incurable. The exhaustion of airway epithelial stem cells plays a pathogenetic role in silicosis. In present study, we investigated therapeutic effects and potential mechanism of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)‐derived MSC‐likes immune and matrix regulatory cells (IMRCs) (hESC‐MSC‐IMRCs), a type of manufacturable MSCs for clinical application in silicosis mice. Our resul… Show more
