Core Tip Acute respiratory distress syndrome remains a major significant clinical challenge for translational researchers because of its high mortality and paucity of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) present a promising approach for immunomodulation and barrier repair. However, heterogeneity within cell populations result in variable clinical efficacy. This editorial endorses the study by Zhang et al, which highlights greater therapeutic efficacy of the CD146+ MSC subpopulation through nuclear factor kappa B-mediated paracrine regulation. Furthermore, the authors highlight future directions including phenotype-focused manufacturing, multi-marker integration, and cell-free therapies based on extracellular vesicles or secretomes illustrating the potential of MSC-based interventions for precision medicine.
