• Abstract:

  Regenerative Medicine is the branch of medicine that aims to replace damaged organs, tissues and cells with healthy ones and, within the scope of stem cell biology, it is not restricted to embryonic stem cells, but stem cells from a variety of sources as what are all the potential tools to stimulate regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are present in the adult organism and are responsible for tissue homeostasis. Distemper is a disease caused by the canine distemper virus, which is also neurodegenerative. Regenerative medicine through mesenchymal stem cells can act in the regeneration of nervous tissue affected by the disease and attenuate the neurological symptoms of the neurological sequelae of the disease in question. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of neurological sequelae of distemper, in view of the scientific literature.
