Ultrasound assisted homing of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promotes recovery from acute respiratory distress syndrome
pFUS preconditioning may improve lung homing and prolong survival of hUC-MSCs by upregulating the levels of homing-associated factors SDF-1, ICAM-1, CXCL5 and IGF-1, which in turn improves ARDS.
