UCLA researchers led by Brigitte Gomperts have discovered the inner workings of the process thought to be the first stage in the development of lung cancer. Their study explains how factors that regulate the growth of adult stem cells that repair tissue in the lungs can lead to the formation of precancerous lesions.
Findings from the three-year study could eventually lead to new personalized treatments for lung cancer, which is responsible for an estimated 29% of US cancer deaths, making it the deadliest form of the disease.
The study was published online in the journal Stem Cell.

My son is 17 and in need of a double lung transplant. I am currently trying to get him to Tampa Florida The lung Institute.i want to make a crowd funding video to help raise money. I am looking for a couple doctors that are willing to talk about the pros and cons of stem cells. This is very important. As you know the success rate for a double lung transplant is not very high. Stem cells are my last chance to save my sons life. If there are any resources out there that you know of that could possibly help me it would be greatly appreciated . As insurance does not cover this kind of treatment. Thank you in advance .
