When cells are administered into the lung, many times they get stuck there. This invention takes advantage of this and claims the use of various cells, including stem cells, as vectors for genes that are beneficial for lung function. I believe that this inventor actually performed clinical trials by administration of iNOS transfected fibroblasts into patients with pulmonary hypertension.
