Research progress of transfering mitochondria application in nanotubes in treatment of acute lung injury sepsis
Journal Title: Journal of Acute Disease - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of sepsis with characteristics of acute onset, rapid change in the disease and high mortality. Since current clinical treatment can only alleviate the unfavorable condition to a certain extent but cure, we urgently need to find an effective treatment. Most scholars believe that sepsis-induced ALI is associated with extensive mitochondrial damage. In recent years, a widely studied pluripotent stem cell that is mesenchymal stem cell has been proved to alleviate and treat sepsis-induced ALI by transporting mitochondria via nanotubes in a microtubule-dependent manner. Research progress in this field will be reviewed in this study.
