Systematic review and meta-analysis of adult multipotent stromal/stem cell treatment for equine tendinopathy and desmopathy
Taken together, these findings suggest that adult MSC therapy for equine tendinopathy and desmopathy has a positive effect on clinical outcomes. Randomized controlled trials using standardized cell isolation, preparation, and dosage, as well as outcome measures, are necessary to confirm benefits in tissue mechanics, gene expression, and extracellular matrix recovery.
