Case Report: Equine allogeneic umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stromal cells (CB-MSC) as adjunctive therapy in a foal with septic arthritis and osteomyelitis
The use of TLR3-activated CB-MSCs may have supported antimicrobial treatment, highlighting the potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties of CB-MSCs.

Treatment outcomes for equine osteoarthritis with mesenchymal stromal cells and hyaluronic acid
This study aimed to assess MSC treatment safety and efficacy. Higher return-to-exercise rates were expected in the MSC groups at 18 weeks, but unexpectedly high rates in the HA group may have led to underpowering. A post hoc calculation suggests 30 horses per group would be needed to detect significant differences.
