MSC will be derived from mothers donating their term placenta for clinical trial research purposes at Mater Mothers Hospital, Brisbane. The donation, isolation and expansion of placental-derived MSC for research purposes has been approved by the Mater Health Services (MHS) Human Research Ethics Committee (Reference No. 1292A). These volunteer donor mothers are unrelated to and will be HLA-unmatched with the IPF recipients.
