  • Do the lungs have the capability to regenerate?

    Lungs are made up of 2 systems- air sacs (alveoli) and airways (bronchial tubes smoking causes inflammation of the airways called chronic bronchitis, as well as breakdown of the walls of the air sacs, called emphysema. Unfortunately, lungs do not have the capacity to regenerate. The good news is that an individuals susceptibility to cigarette smoke varies and less than 20 yrs of smoking rarely causes significant damage. As well, lung function does recover some over time with gradual resolution of chronic bronchitis, with improvement reaching a plateau by 6 months. The emphysema, unfortunately, never repairs itself, but the lungs have a great deal of reserve. Shortness of breath may not begin until more than 40% of lung function is lost, and disability until 60%. Physicians think about transplanting lungs when function is less than 25% of predicted. Lung transplants hold up poorly with 20% of recipients dying by 2 years, 50% by 5 years. This is why there is such a great deal of research invested in stem cell therapies - this is likely the best opportunity to regenerate the lungs air sacs. We are still years away of perfecting techniques, but the chances this approach will become reality is high. READ MORE
