An animal model of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome for translational research.

Lab Anim Res

January 2025

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, No. 155, Sec. 2, Li-Nung Street, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC.

Background: Despite the fact that an increasing number of studies have focused on developing therapies for acute lung injury, managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a challenge in intensive care medicine. Whether the pathology of animal models with acute lung injury in prior studies differed from clinical symptoms of ARDS, resulting in questionable management for human ARDS. To evaluate precisely the therapeutic effect of transplanted stem cells or medications on acute lung injury, we developed an animal model of severe ARDS with lower lung function, capable of keeping the experimental animals survive with consistent reproducibility.
