TLDR Equine adipose stem cells can become different cell types and are promising for healing injuries.
The study evaluated equine adipose tissue-derived stem cells (EASCs) for their potential in regenerative medicine, demonstrating their high proliferation potential and ability to differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic, and neurogenic lineages. EASCs exhibited fibroblast-like morphology and strong adherence, confirming their identity as multipotent stem cells. The research highlighted their promise for regenerative therapies due to their ability to migrate and propagate desired cells at injury sites, and the ease of isolating large numbers of cells from small adipose tissue samples. However, it emphasized the need for further molecular characterization to establish standard practices in equine medicine.
