| Abstract: Recent developments in the stem cell biology provided new hopes in treatment of diseases and
disorders that yet cannot be treated. Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various cell types in
the body during age. These provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialized cells that are
damaged. Since mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be easily harvested from the adipose tissue and can also
be cultured and expanded in vitro they have become a good target for tissue regeneration. These cells have
been widespread used for cell transplantation in animals and also for clinical trials in humans. The purpose of
this review is to provide a summary of our current knowledge regarding the important and types of isolated
stem cells from different sources of animal models such as horse, pig, goat, dog, rabbit, cat, rat, mice etc. In
this regard, due to the widespread use and lot of attention of MSCs, in this review, we will elaborate on use
of MSCs in veterinary medicine as well as in regenerative medicine. Based on the studies in this field, MSCs
found wide application in treatment of diseases, such as heart failure, wound healing, tooth regeneration etc. |
