Breakthrough in Canine Medicine: Reliable Method Established for Culturing

New technique boosts production of canine stem cells for veterinary use

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be harvested from fat and bone marrow, have immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects that are beneficial for both human and veterinary medicine. However, MSCs have a limited proliferation capacity, with their quality varying depending on the donor’s age and where they were harvested from. For this reason, a method for producing MSCs using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is attracting attenti…

Breakthrough in Canine Medicine: Reliable Method Established for Culturing

A breakthrough in veterinary regenerative medicine has been achieved with the successful generation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from canine induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have pioneered a refined method to produce high-quality canine MSCs that promise to revolutionize treatments for a wide range of diseases in dogs, pushing forward the boundaries of both veterinary and translatio…
