Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The described invention provides compositions and methods for treating a susceptible subject at risk of pulmonary complications of an acute lung injury caused by a severe infection with a respiratory virus and for restoring lung function to donor lungs. The methods include administering a therapeutic amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising extracellular vesicles (EVs) comprising one or more miRNAs and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The population of EVs can be derived from a patient who has recovered from an infection with the respiratory virus or has been exposed to anti-viral antibodies through treatment, can be derived from MSCs of a normal healthy individual, can be modified by a viral vector, or can be synthetic.
