Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effects of amniotic fluid stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (AFSC-EVs) on lung development in fetal rats with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a condition affecting respiratory function in newborns.
- Researchers induced CDH in pregnant rats and then administered AFSC-EVs to the fetuses before birth, comparing their lung function and morphology to control pups that didn't receive the treatment.
- Results showed that pups treated with AFSC-EVs had improved lung mechanics, structure, and reduced collagen deposition compared to those treated with saline, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for managing CDH-related lung impairment in neonates.
