The research regarding therapy using adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) in veterinary medicine, started in 2002. Advances in understanding of the biology of adult stem cells have attracted the attention of the biomedical research community, including those studying osteoarthritis. (1) Autologous adult stem cells are immunologically compatible, can be harvested from a variety of sources, including bone marrow and adipse tissue (1), and have no ethical issues related to their use [...]
