Bridging the gap between the physiological and therapeutic roles of mesenchymal stem cells

To unlock the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), we will focus in this research proposal on the cross-talk between equine MSCs and tenocytes using in vitro cultures mimicking tendon lesions in the horse, as this setting allows us to study the three main regenerative mechanisms of MSCs: secretion of paracrine factors, cell differentiation and immune modulation.
