Abstract:
Currently, the corona virus disease 2019 was spreading globally, and more than 167.5 million confirmed cases worldwide. The new corona virus was highly contagious. The human body would have respiratory symptoms, fever, severe respiratory syndrome, organ failure, and even death after being infected with the virus. At present, there was no specific treatment for COVID-19. Most of the treatments were symptomatic and supportive treatment, and the prognosis was poor. Mesenchymal stem cells could not only repair damaged lung tissue, but also regulate immunity and anti-inflammatory effects, and had good clinical application prospects. We will review the application of MSCs in the treatment of COVID-19 for the reference of colleagues.
