What Is a Stem Cell?

Stem cells are defined as cells that have the ability to:

• Self-renew

• Proliferate over long periods

• Differentiate into different cell types

• Participate in tissue repair and regeneration processes

Due to these properties, stem cells have long been studied and utilized in regenerative medicine applications.

Their differentiation potential and biological compatibility have also led to increasing interest in various applications within veterinary medicine.

How Do Stem Cells Work?

When tissue damage occurs in the body, biochemical signals are released from the affected area, activating cellular repair mechanisms.
Stem cells respond to these signals by migrating toward the damaged tissue and contributing to regeneration processes.

These mechanisms are shaped by a combination of cellular interactions, secreted biological factors, and the local microenvironment.

Types of Stem Cells

Stem cells are classified based on:

Differentiation potential

• Totipotent

• Pluripotent

• Multipotent

Source of origin

• Embryonic

• Adult

• Fetal

In veterinary applications, one of the most commonly evaluated cell groups is Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). MSCs are adult, multipotent stem cells.

At VetStem, mesenchymal stem cells are produced and evaluated for veterinary use.

Why Mesenchymal Stem Cells?

Mesenchymal stem cells are among the preferred cell types due to:

• Their widespread use in regenerative medicine

• The absence of well-documented serious adverse effects in the literature

• Extensive evaluation across multiple clinical fields

• Accessibility from relatively easy-to-obtain biological sources

• Their potential for large-scale expansion under controlled conditions

How Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells Obtained?

The main sources from which mesenchymal stem cells can be derived include:

• Adipose tissue

• Bone marrow

• Umbilical cord blood

• Peripheral blood

• Dental pulp

Within the VetStem framework, mesenchymal stem cells are primarily derived from adipose tissue, due to their high proliferation capacity and practical accessibility.

Areas of Application

• Oral and dental diseases

• Bacterial diseases

• Neurological and central nervous system disorders

• Internal medicine

• Dermatology

• Gastrointestinal diseases

• Ophthalmic conditions

Stem cell applications have been investigated in the literature and clinical practice across various veterinary fields, including:

Note: Suitability assessment and treatment decisions must always be made by the attending veterinarian based on individual clinical evaluation.

• Immune-mediated diseases

• Cardiovascular diseases

• Musculoskeletal disorders

• Neuromuscular diseases

• Respiratory diseases

• Viral diseases
