What a Human CKD Pilot Teaches Vet Med about Adipose MSCs
This week, we’re taking a slightly different path. Most of the studies we review focus on veterinary applications, but this one looks at a human pilot study that offers meaningful insights for how we approach chronic kidney disease (CKD) in pets.Listen anywhere you...
UC-MSCs After Trochlear Groove Reconstruction in Dogs
This week on Sit. Stay. Learn., I reviewed a 2022 study by He et al. in Frontiers in Veterinary Science that explored whether umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) could help dogs recover more quickly after trochlear groove reconstruction (TGR)—a...
Adipose-Derived MSCs for Chronic Kidney Disease
This week, I’m switching gears. Most of the studies I cover are animal-focused, but this time we’re looking at a human pilot study that gives us insights we can bring right back into veterinary medicine. The paper is titled:“Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal...
