A treatment system delivers a breathing gas and frozen stem cells or other biologic particles (FBP) to a bronchus of a lung of a patient in order to treat lung and other conditions. The breathing gas and the FBP are usually delivered through separate lumens. The FBP may be delivered concurrently with other frozen particles, such as frozen saline particles (FSP). The FBP/FSP will remain frozen at all times from preparation to delivery, and will thaw only after they are released into the lung.

Aerosilization of stem cells or stem cell derivatives for pulmonary delivery

The present disclosure is directed at a process to form bone grafting material. One may provide a porous collagen scaffold and insert the scaffold into a perfusion chamber of a perfusion flow system. This may then be followed by continuously providing a mineralization perfusion fluid flow through the scaffold at a flow rate to provide dynamic intrafibrillar mineralization of the scaffold and form a collagen/hydroxyapatite composite scaffold. One may optionally provide the scaffold with bone tissue forming cells and then deliver a perfusion fluid including oxygen and one or more nutrients through the collagen/hydroxyapatite composite scaffold and to the bone tissue forming cells at a flow rate such that the bone tissue forming cells remodel the collagen/hydroxyapatite composite scaffold and form a bone tissue extracellular matrix. The bone tissue extracellular matrix may then be decellularized to form an acellular bone repair scaffold.
