               This review article summarises the current state of knowledge on the biology and applications of mesenchymal stem                cells (MSCs) in veterinary medicine for dogs and cats. The authors describe the sources of MSCs (bone marrow,                      adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood, foetal membranes), their immunomodulatory properties and therapeutic                            potential in tissue regeneration.

             The clinical section presents the results of studies on the effectiveness of MSCs in the treatment of osteoarthritis,                     tendon injuries, chronic renal failure, asthma and enteritis in cats. The article emphasises the safety of the therapy, t.                 the absence of side effects and the need for further standardisation of procedures in light of EMA and FDA guidelines.

             The publication is an important reference point for the development of Sanford Biotech's translational cell therapies.

A retrospective study of 40 cases (314 cases in total in the database) of dogs that were administered intravenous allogeneic MSCs obtained from adipose tissue (AT-MSCs). Adverse effects were monitored for at least 6 months after administration. Clinical parameters, blood tests, radiological images and the presence of tumours were analysed. No significant clinical or haematological changes were observed in most animals. In three cases, a local reaction (pain, swelling, vasculitis) occurred, which resolved within a week. No cases of thrombosis, pulmonary oedema, bleeding or tumour development were observed during the observation period. The authors conclude that intravenous administration of allogeneic MSCs is a safe therapeutic approach in dogs.

The review article analyses the current status of MSC applications in veterinary medicine in various species (dogs, cats, horses, cattle), highlighting challenges in clinical trials, cell standardisation, safety, MSC population heterogeneity and regulatory aspects. The authors emphasise that despite progress, there are significant barriers to translation into widespread clinical use, such as the lack of clear administration protocols, differences between donors, potential immunological risks, and the need for long-term monitoring of adverse events.

A review of the literature indicates that MSCs can be used in neurological diseases: stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries. The authors discuss the mechanisms of action (neuroprotection, angiogenesis, inflammation modulation) and current limitations: cell migration to the site of damage, cell survival, immune barrier.
