Because lung tissues have no the capacity of regeneration, it is difficult to cure for lung diseases. At present, it is known that bone marrow derived stem cells are able to differentiate into lung tissue cells directionally, bone marrow derived stem cells are engrafted into the injured lung tissues,and induced to differentiate into alveolar epithelial cells, and further develop alveolar tissue. This is a promised therapeutic tool, but it still is the basal research stage.Now we will review engraftment of bone marrow derived stem cell in various kinds of lung disease model.
