Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
in Humans
The second area of interest for Entest is the development
of a stem cell therapy that incorporates “homing” stimulator technology for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is the 4th leading cause of death
in the United States. There is currently no cure for COPD, only treatments that provide temporary relief of symptoms. Entest believes that stem cell therapy coupled with a “homing”
stimulator will direct stem cells to diseased lung tissue. Entest
believes this approach could cause damaged tissue to regenerate. Entest sees applications for this treatment in both veterinary
and human venues.
