Therapeutic use of stem cells in horses: which type, how, and when?

Lauren V Schnabel et al. Vet J. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

Stem cells are commonly used in equine practice to treat musculoskeletal disorders including tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and more recently laminitis. As the field of regenerative medicine continues to advance, equine practitioners need contemporary information regarding the choice of stem cell type and recommendations regarding clinical implementation of stem cell therapies. Clinicians must also be aware of the limitation in current knowledge regarding stem cells, and the impending regulatory laws that may limit the use of equine stem cells in clinical patients.

Keywords: Equine musculoskeletal disorders; FDA; Osteoarthritis; Stem cells; Tendonitis.
