Stem cells for bronchopulmonary dysplasia: A promising yet challenging journey lies ahead

We congratulate the authors for their commendable effort in conducting a phase I clinical trial on stem cell in prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).1 With increased survival of extremely low birth weight infants, BPD has emerged as a major morbidity in this population.2 Regenerative medicine in the form of stem cell therapy seems to be a promising solution for healing the affected lungs in this population.
