Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The therapeutic application of stem cells (regenerative medicine) has advanced from a basic science curiosity to being of potential use to correct various clinical conditions. This translation can be attributed to studies establishing the feasibility and safety of delivering the stem cells in a clinical setting. The potential to regenerate all types of animal tissues by using appropriate type/s of stem cells adds to the widening scope of cell therapy applications in veterinary practice. Further, the commonality in the disease categories in humans and animals that can be treated by cell therapy adds yet another domain to the one health approach, which can lead to mutually beneficial knowledge for clinical applications. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), myeloid stem cells (MySC), induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS) and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASC) are some of the types of stem cells that have been extensively tested for their therapeutic merit in various clinical settings. This Special Issue would like to document evidence-based approaches to the use of these various stem cell types in the clinical management of diseases in pet and farm animals. We look forward to your contributions, which will advance the field of veterinary regenerative medicine.
Dr. Arun Kumar
Guest Editor
