Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors with the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, adipose, and other mesodermal tissues, while also functioning as dynamic stromal regulators that shape immune responses and tissue repair. Their dual identity makes them central to regenerative medicine. In veterinary contexts, MSCs are being investigated for orthopedic injuries, wound healing, inflammatory diseases, and systemic disorders in species ranging from horses and dogs to livestock.
This course offers a comprehensive overview:
-
Biology of MSCs: sources, defining criteria, and cellular mechanisms.
-
Therapeutic properties: differentiation, immunomodulation, trophic signaling, and stromal support.
-
Clinical applications: current evidence, successes, and limitations in veterinary practice.
-
Regulatory and translational issues: safety, standardization, and policy frameworks.
-
Future innovations: exosomes, biomaterials, and advanced delivery systems.
By integrating biological fundamentals with therapeutic realities, the course equips learners to critically assess both the promise and the challenges of MSCs in advancing veterinary regenerative medicine.
