Stem cells in veterinary medicine--attempts at regenerating equine tendon after injury.
Trends Biotechnol
September 2007
Article Synopsis
- Stem cell technology is generating excitement among pet owners because it holds potential for healing injuries that don’t heal well on their own and where traditional treatments fall short.
- The review highlights the veterinary use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), specifically from bone marrow or fat, primarily for treating tendon injuries in horses.
- It discusses the rationale behind this treatment, supporting data, positive outcomes observed in clinical cases, and future challenges facing stem cell therapy in veterinary practice.
Dorsal displacement of the soft palate is a common cause of upper airway obstruction in racehorses and is of unknown aetiology. To determine whether the palate may displace for structural reasons, knowledge of the normal soft palate is required. The present study aimed to describe, qualitatively and quantitatively, the structure of the normal equine soft palate using histomorphometry.
