Application of Regenerative Medicine in the Field of Veterinary Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

In veterinary medicine, regenerative medicine can be broadly defined as finding methods to heal, replace, and regenerate severely damaged tissues and organs, as well as pursuing methods to treat chronic diseases in animals. These methods include stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, tissue engineering, and gene therapy. Recently, research on therapies utilizing stem cell-derived exosomes has been growing in prominence. Regenerative medicine offers various advantages in veterinary care, aiding in the treatment of conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, etc. Additionally, trials concerning potential treatments for systemic diseases like diabetes, hepatitis, atopic dermatitis, and dementia are ongoing and necessary. In this context, ongoing research into alternative therapies for tissue damage and the treatment of disease in animals is essential.

In this Special Issue, we aim to publish original research articles and reviews that are specifically focused on tissue regeneration, including studies on the effects of stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, and exosome therapy. In doing so, we hope to take a step closer to the development of novel alternative treatments for the management of chronic diseases in animals. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
