Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapeutic Applications in Peripheral Nervous System Disorders

Therapeutic Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Peripheral nerve affections are not uncommon in veterinary species. Numerous nerves are affected with predilection for some specific nerves. Currently, no specific and effective treatment is available. To address the challenge, regenerative medicine incorporating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and scaffolds are being evaluated. Peripheral nerve injury is studied in experimental and clinical cases. Tissue-engineered constructs employing MSCs are mainly studied for sciatic nerve injuries. The limited available literature on applications of MSCs in nerve affections in veterinary species shows promising role, however, consensus lacks on their definitive applications. The current chapter discusses peripheral nerve injury models and critically evaluates MSCs therapeutic effects.
