Tendon and ligament injuries are frequent in sport horses humans, such represent a significant therapeutic challenge. Tissue regeneration function recovery the paramount goals of tendon lesion management. Nowadays, several regenerative treatments being developed, based on use stem cell cell-based therapies. In present study, preparation equine synovial membrane mesenchymal cells (eSM-MSCs) is described for clinical use, collection, transport, isolation, differentiation, characterization,...
Horses are high-performance athletes prone to sportive injuries such as tendonitis and desmitis. The formation of fibrous tissue in tendon repair remains a challenge overcome. This impels regenerative medicine develop innovative therapies that enhance regeneration, retrieving original properties. Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) have been successfully used therapeutic products, they secrete variety bioactive molecules play pivotal role regeneration. These factors released...
Articular cartilage healing and repair is one of the biggest clinical challenges in trauma orthopaedic medicine, leading to high economic loss due athletic impairment sport horses. Multipotent Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells are part novel therapeutic arsenal aimed at tissue regeneration restoring organ function. These release biomolecules factors culture media, producing so called conditioned medium, which have a pro-regenerative effect through paracrine mechanisms. Considering this, product...
Musculoskeletal injuries such as equine osteoarthritis, osteoarticular defects, tendonitis/desmitis, and muscular disorders are prevalent among sport horses, with a fair prognosis for returning to exercise or previous performance levels. The field of medicine has witnessed rapid fruitful development, resulting in diverse range therapeutic options musculoskeletal problems. Staying abreast these advancements can be challenging, prompting the need comprehensive review commonly used recent...
Abstract The therapeutic effect of three polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes loaded with electrically conductive materials ‐ carbon nanotubes ( PVA‐CNTs ) and polypyrrole PVA‐PPy were tested in vivo for neuro‐muscular regeneration after an axonotmesis injury the rat sciatic nerve. electrical conductivity measured was 1.5 ± 0.5 × 10 −6 S/m, 579 0.6 1837.5 0.7 respectively. At week‐12, a residual motor nociceptive deficit present all treated groups, but at better recovery to normal gait pattern...
Tendons and ligaments injuries are frequent in sport horses humans, representing a great therapeutic challenge. Tissue regeneration function recovery the paramount of tendon ligament lesions management. Nowadays, several regenerative treatments being developed, based on use stem cell cell-based therapies. In present study, preparation equine synovial membrane mesenchymal cells (eSM-MSCs) for clinical - collection, transport, isolation, differentiation, characterization, application is...
Horses are high performance athletes prone to sportive injuries such as tendonitis and desmitis. Fibrous tissue formation with loss of mechanical properties occurs in tendon repair, becoming a therapeutic challenge overcome. This impels regenerative medicine develop innovative therapies that enhance regeneration retrieving original properties. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been successfully used products. They secrete variety bioactive molecules play pivotal role regeneration. These...

Here, we describe a case of 5-year-old show-jumping stallion presented with severe lameness, swelling, and pain on palpation the left metacarpophalangeal joint (MCj). Diagnostic imaging revealed full partial-thickness articular defects over lateral condyle third metacarpus (MC3) dorsolateral aspect first phalanx (P1). After lesion’s arthroscopic curettage, patient was subjected to an innovative regenerative treatment consisting two intra-articular injections equine synovial membrane...
