| Research Abstract |
Through the pilot study using canine emphysema models, we successfully demonstrated that cell based therapy using myoblast cell sheet techniques improved emphysematous changes functionally and radiographycally. We will continue to work on the study to figure out the mechanism involved in this improvement.
