The adnexa fetal tissues are sources of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) due to their noninvasive harvest, with all biological material discarded most of the time. MSCs are a promise regarding to their plasticity, self-renewal, differentiation potentials, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, which have made clinical stem cell therapy a reality. The present study aimed to characterize and evaluate the immunomodulation ability of bovine mesenchymal cells collected from bovine amniotic fluid (bAFMSCs) isolated and subjected to sixth consecutive culture passages .

Methods: Twenty adult cats were submitted to unilateral ventral bulla osteotomy and divided into two groups: cats of A1 group (n=10) were euthanized at 8 weeks and cats of A2 group (n=10), at 16 weeks postoperative.
Results: Signs of Horner's syndrome or damage to the inner ear were not found.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the healing process of the tympanic bulla in cats after experimental lateral osteotomy.
- Twenty adult cats were divided into two groups, with one group analyzed at 8 weeks and the other at 16 weeks post-surgery, showing radiographic changes in the external acoustic meatus.
- Despite observable changes and the presence of connective tissue at the osteotomy site, there was no significant difference in healing between the two groups, indicating that full regeneration of the tympanic bulla may take longer than 16 weeks.
