However, SA-MCF in sheep is a rare entity with few demonstrations of natural diseases worldwide. This report documents the clinical, radiographical, pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings of SA-MCF in a sheep.

- The superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) in athletic horses is prone to injuries, and there are few treatment options available.
- This study investigates the local inflammatory response to allogeneic (from a donor) versus autologous (from the same animal) adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell (AT-MSC) transplantation in the equine tendon, using a control group for comparison.
- The results showed no significant differences in physical and morphological assessments across the groups, and the allogeneic AT-MSCs did not cause an adverse inflammatory response, indicating they behaved similarly to autologous transplants.
