Abstract
Regenerative medicine is a complex field of research, with much hope placed on the ability to use regenerative therapies such as stem cells to provide new treatment options for many frustrating disease processes in human and veterinary medicine. Significant research is still needed and ongoing from basic mechanistic studies to advanced bioengineering applications to practical cell delivery methods. Small studies of mesenchymal stem cell therapy shows significant promise in inflammatory feline diseases. Continued research will hopefully help determine the potential of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in feline medicine and lead to development of safe and effective products for clinical use.
