Project description

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.
