Acute lung injury: the definition, pathogenesis, animal models and the role of mesenchymal stem cells in experimental treatment
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical syndrome with definite histological criteria of lung structure lesion. ALI is widespread in clinical practice and has a high lethality. In this article we describe the definition, clinics, etiology, pathogenesis, animal models of ALI. In this review we describe a role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in treatment of experimental ALI, induced by lipopolysaccharide.
