Effect of the application of stem cells for tendon injuries in sporting horses

Finding a cure for tendonitis in sporting horses has been a challenge for veterinarians during a long time. Regenerative medicine using stem cells from the patient has emerged as an innovative method that allows breaking the barriers of finding a resolution that can be maintained over time. Addition...
