In the treatment applied to dogs, in 22% of the dogs, the cell specialization process was not successful because the stem cells did not improve the arthritis problem

Stem cells are a type of cell that can transform into any of the 44 types of cells in the body, in a process called cell specialization. For instance:

  • Neurons
  • Sperms or ovules
  • Pneumocytes
