A practical guide to stem cell-based regenerative techniques in dogs
Stem Cell-Based Regenerative Medicine in Canine Practice delivers an essential reference for the use of stem cells in canine practice. Intuitively organized by organ and body systems, the book is easy-to-follow, and addresses many common conditions encountered when dealing with dogs in veterinary practice, including those affecting the central nervous system, muscular system, and vascular system.
The book is grounded in evidence-based research and readers are provided with guidance on the potential challenges and problems that may arise when considering and using stem cell therapeutics. It also explains the techniques for stem cell extraction and how to use stem cell regenerative medicine for the best results.
Readers will also find:
* An introduction to the treatment of various clinical conditions like corneal ulcers and keratoconjunctivitis
* Comprehensive explorations of the treatment of osteoarthritis, bone gap defects, tendon/ligament injuries, muscle affections, peripheral nerves, periodontitis, esophageal ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, liver, diabetes, and skin wounds
* Practical discussions of canine mesenchymal stem cell sources, properties, and regulations for clinical use
* An overview of comparative analysis between various stem cells for therapeutics
* Complimentary access to a website containing reference videos and clinical guidance
Written for veterinarians in general practice, Stem Cell-Based Regenerative Medicine in Canine Practice will also benefit veterinary students and researchers.
