The stem cells are injected locally in the joint. They interact with the different components of the joint by secreting a wide range of soluble factors and through direct contact with the cells of the joint tissues they contribute to a to a global anti-inflammatory effect, to a
modulation of the immune cells of the joint (key in the arthrosic process) and have a provascular and protective effect against cell death. ^{A, 8, G}.
Several publications in dogs have shown that the injection of mesenchymal stem cells leads to a lasting pain reduction, a motor skills improvement and thus a lasting improvement in the animals quality of life. We expect the same effect on cats. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, C}
