Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of stem cells and their use in processing ex vivo samples (e.g. blood samples). More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of mesenchymal stem cells in ECMO.

Abstract: A device, system and method for measuring free gas in a cavity of a subject. The device, system and method include a light source for emitting light with a wavelength associated with an absorption band of the free gas, an optical fibre connected to the light source and adapted to be inserted using an introducing member for internal illumination, and a detector adapted to be positioned on a skin surface for detecting light transmitted through the tissue. The device, system and method further includes a control unit for evaluating the detected transmitted light for determining the free gas, or a distribution of the free gas, or concentration of the free gas.

Abstract: Methods for purifying, culturing and selecting mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) subpopulations with neonatal quality and adult tissue specificity are for in production of advanced therapeutic medicinal products. In certain examples, term amniotic fluid derived cells having characteristics of lung cells can be isolated. In some the term amniotic fluid derived cells having characteristics of lung cells can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic respiratory diseases.

Abstract: A device, system and method for monitoring a pulmonary system of a subject. An optical member for emitting a light signal through a cavity of the pulmonary system of the subject. The optical member and a detector unit are configured to be positioned so that the light signal detected that has ebb transmitted from the optical member through the cavity. A control unit is configured for evaluating the detected light signal for determining a physiological status of said pulmonary system of the subject.

Abstract: Lung surfactant compositions are provided which can form a swelling phase when dispersed in a medium containing electrolytes. Hereby, a more active spreading of the lung surfactant into the alveoli can be obtained after administration to the lungs. Further provided are a pharmaceutical composition and a pharmaceutical kit comprising a lung surfactant composition as well as to a method for the treatment, prevention and/or diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome or other pulmonary diseases that are associated with a deficiency of a lung surfactant.
