TREATMENT OF VIRUS-INDUCED ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

摘要

The invention is directed to a method of treating viral-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by administering to a subject with the virial induced ARDS multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), which are non-embryonic stem, non-germ cells that have a broad differentiation potential and extended replication capacity. The virus inducing the ARDS can be a Betacoronavirus, such as, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Corona Virus or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), or severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2).
