Stem Cell Research

Stem Cell Animal Applications

The stem cell field in veterinary medicine continues to emerge rapidly both experimentally and clinically. Stem cells are widely used in veterinary medicine in medical applications to treat muscle and bone injuries in horses and dogs. New assisted reproductive technologies are being developed to use spermatogonial stem cell structures to maintain endangered species. Similar methods can be used to produce mutant animals to produce drugs or to be used as biomedical models. Species of small and large animals serve as important models for pre-screening of stem cell applications in humans and animal patients in areas such as spinal cord injury and myocardial infarction. However, these requests were not made in the clinical treatment of animal patients.
