A pilot study to demonstrate the paracrine effect of equine, adult allogenic mesenchymal stem cells , with a potential for healing of experimentally-created, equine thoracic wounds .

Regenerative biological therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being studied and used extensively in equine veterinary medicine. One of the important properties of MSCs is the cells' reparative effect, which is brought about by paracrine signaling, which results in the release of biologically active molecules, which in turn, can affect cellular migration and proliferation, thus a huge potential in wound healing. The objective of the current study was to demonstrate the and potentials of equine allogenic bone marrow-derived MSCs for wound healing.
