Effectivity of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Systematic Review and Implication for Clinical Application

Scientists systematically review preclinical studies, explored the effectiveness of mesenchyal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and analyze the potential mechanism, combined with clinical trials of current MSCs for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and COVID-19, so as to provide support for clinical research and transformation of MSCs.
