1. Professor Wei Zuo, of the School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China and colleagues used a tiny catheter that contains a brush to collect the progenitor P63+ cells from the patients own lungs, cloned the cells to create billions, and then transplanted them back into the patients’ lungs via bronchoscopy. The treatment was well tolerated by all patients. After 12 weeks, the median DLCO (diffusing capacity of the lungs) which tests how well air is exchanged between the lungs and the bloodstream, increased from 30% before treatment to 39.7%. Other improvements were also noted.

2. Unnamed scientists at University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine discovered AT2 RASCs (Respiratory airway secretory cells) are a type of cell in the human lung that have stem-cell-like properties.
comments: @cochise2423: I have had stem cell treatment twice for copd and ph. It works good but I think it would stronger and possibly cure COPD if we could expand the at2 into a couple million cells and put they back in the body by IV or catheter. Do you know where I could have this done?
3. I'm 2 years into advanced COPD. Where might I get this P63+ treatment? Or how would I go about treating myself? My pulminologist might help, or Mayo Clinic might want to administrate.
@cochise2423 says he's had it done twice but not where, indicating it's not a cure, but a superior treatment.
