Dog Mesenchymal Stem Cell Basic Research and Potential Applications
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) being available in numerous adult tissues and foetal membranes have been harvested from almost all these sources in dog. Due to the presence of miniscule number of MSCs in these tissues, culture expansion followed by their ch

Preface
Tissues and/or organs are constituted by building blocks, the cells. These cells are either undifferentiated stem cells or differentiated tissue-specific cells. The miniscule number of available undifferentiated stem cells act as a reserve to maintain normal cell turn-over and thereby, tissue homeostasis. The differentiated cells perform the tissue-specific function. For a substantial and effective cellular therapy, the cells have to be sufficient in quantity and compatible with the recipient immune system, besides expressing as per the tissue requirements. The differentiated cells taken from the particular tissue source often are limited in number, have little or no proliferation potential and elicit the immune response in the recipient upon allogeneic or xenogeneic transplantation. Contrarily, the stem cells especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be harvested from almost all the body tissue sources including the foetal membranes and have good proliferation and trans-differentiation
