Characterisation and tenogenic differentiation of equine MSCs
derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, tendon tissue,
umbilical cord matrix and –blood
In cooperation with the
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine,
Large Animal Clinic for Surgery
Aims of the project
In
equine medicine, favourable results in tendon therapy have been
achieved after application of MSCs derived from bone marrow and
adipose tissue. However, there are reasons indicating that MSCs
derived from the umbilical cord display even better capacities
to support tendon healing. In order to define the best stem cell
source for tendon therapy, cellular characteristics and
tenogenic differentiation following mechanical stimulation of
MSCs are compared in this study.
