Adipose-Derived Adult Stem Cells as Trophic Mediators of Tendon Regeneration

The adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a promising new therapy for equine flexor tendonitis. This heterogeneous population of cells may improve tendon healing via the production of growth and chemotactic factors capable of recruiting endogenous stem cells and increasing extracellula...
