Isolation and morphological characterisation of ovine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in culture.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

AD-MSCs (adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells), as an easy obtainable population of multipotent cells, have been successfully applied in many diseases in animals. Having very similar properties and morphology to these collected from bone marrow, are very attractive object for regenerative medicine.

Conclusions

Ovine subcutaneous fat from many regions of the body is rich source of stem cells, which could be used in locomotive system disorders experimental therapy on sheep models.
