Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Great research endeavors have been conducted lately in the scope of veterinary regenerative medicine. Hence, diverse therapeutic options, including stem cells, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, and platelet concentrates, have emerged as promising cell and cell-free treatments for a wide range of illnesses. Moreover, their wide applications extended to cover the regeneration of almost all body tissues. The efficacy of their use was investigated in different animal models at the preclinical and clinical scales. However, some challenges are encountered. In addition, further investigations are still requested to elucidate the mechanism of these therapies' action at the cellular and molecular levels.
The main objective of the present Special Issue is to bring together high-quality studies on the current discoveries in the field of veterinary regenerative medicine applied to the heart, skin, orodental tissue, digestive tract, respiratory system, urinary system, abdominal wall, and reproductive system, emphasizing and igniting discussion on the field's most recent developments. It also highlights new ideas, creative discoveries, current challenges, most recent findings and accomplishments, and future directions in veterinary regenerative medicine.
Original research articles, either experimental or clinical studies conducted on laboratory animals, small and large domestic animals, and wild animals; short communications; opinion articles; method articles; perspectives; meta-analyses; mini-reviews; and review articles are encouraged. We invite a variety of regeneration strategies, including but not limited to, the following:
- Regenerative applications of diverse therapeutic modalities in the regeneration of different animals' soft and hard tissues.
- Various sources, plasticity, and differentiation potentials of stem cells in different animals.
- Isolation, characterization, and applications of stem cells, extracellular vesicles, and platelet concentrates.
- Different animals as models for human diseases.
- Preclinical and clinical investigations, either in vivo or in vitro, using different regenerative approaches in veterinary practice.
