Table 4. Preclinical trials carried out with MSCs in canine bone fractures and defects.
| No of dogs | MSC source | Treatment | Observation period | Outcome | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | Bone marrow | Four dogs received IA autologous BMSC and PRP. | Not described | Improvement in clinical signs and x-ray results. | Crovace et al., 2008 |
| 9 (5 TG and 4 CG) | AT | CG received cell transport medium and TG autologous intralesional injection of 15 × 106 ASC. | 120 days | TG had an average ossification 36.45% higher than the CG. | Rocha dos Santos et al., 2018 |
IA = Intra-articular; BMSC = Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; PRP = Platelet-rich plasma; CG = Control group; TG = Treated group; ASC = Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
