1. Angiogenesis – provokes formation of new blood vessels.

2. Reduce inflammation – chronic lung disease is associated with significant inflammation, and the regenerative biologics reduce it nicely.

3. Immune system modulation – the stem cells and exosomes modulate the immune system very differently than steroids. Instead of blanketly suppressing the immune system, the regenerative biologics tamp down the harmful processes while amping up the beneficial ones. This includes ramping up production of several helpful growth factors and cytokines, while tamping down harmful ones.

4. Cellular signaling – the biologics are able to perform “cell to cell” communication. This promotes recipient cells to proliferate their growth factor production, protein production and regenerate tissues that are damaged.

5. Prevent cell death – most cells have a timed death, where they are only allowed to live a certain length of time. This is called apoptosis. The regenerative biologics allow normally functioning cells (i.e. hepatocytes) to live longer, and spare them from the pre-programmed death.

6. Preventing scar tissue – Lung disease patients may experience significant scarring throughout the lung parenchyma. Once that scar tissue forms, it becomes nonfunctional. Stem Cells and exosomes are great at preventing scar tissue (anti-fibrosis).
