Interesting to see research going on that is about repairing lungs with emphysema rather than just keeping symptoms at bay. Sounds like it is very early days though

The loss of elasticity with Emphysema is how we get hyper-inflated lungs, (long lungs or barrel chested). It would be interesting if it could reverse that, breathing would then be so much easier. A good find :)

Thank you Livefor for this link and as 2greys points out, the reversal of our lungs loosing their elasticity, would be the answer to our dreams I'm sure! Excellent read and appreciate your sharing. Have a good day๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’ž

This is why each research found I am trying to track down researcher to ask where they are up to with an outcome for us. Some response some haven't but I think now we not only need to know research is being done but also what stage they are at..I.e human trials test funding issues ect we want not only to know years on they are looking at copd we need to know it will hopefully benefit us

That is very interesting though it does not state the % improvement after the procedure. Suspect it is early days as to its long term impact but hope to see it cross the pond from the USA
