An international team of scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that stem cells protect and repair the lungs of newborn rats. According to the head of the study, Dr. Thébaud, stem cells work like little factories, pumping out healing factors. Those factors seem to boost the power of the healthy lung cells and helps them to repair the lungs.

What’s so exciting about this breakthrough, is that it may lead to new treatments for lungs of premature babies. Read on to learn more about Dr. Thébaud and his incredible discovery.

Biotechnology is fascinating stuff.

yes! biotechnology is very fascinating and awesome. when i think about the potential cures and help it can provide to this world, i get very happy.

the new development for stem cell lungs can only improve the chances of the premature babies. it is not 100% effective. then again we are in the early stages of the research.

i hope the scientists keep up the good work.
