Equine Stem Cells from eQcell Inc. (Allogeneic cord blood-derived CB-MSCs) have demonstrated being effective and safe at different doses in treatments to modify the effects in an induced fetlock injury-model, when compared to saline treatment and did not elicit adverse reactions after repeated intraarticular injection. A significant reduction of lameness and MRI score was also observed. Single intra-articular treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA) and thawed pooled CB-MSCs of fetlocks and carpi in horses with naturally occurring OA is well tolerated and effective in improving lameness.
