We currently do not usestem cells from embryos in veterinary practice, only adult cells.How do Stem Cells Work?Stem cells work in several different ways. They decrease scar formation, increase bloodvessel formation to the site of injury, and decrease inflammation. They are able to honein on the site of injury and differentiate into whatever tissue type is most needed. Inessence, they promote regeneration of body tissues while decreasing injury to thosetissues.

Ligaments are similar butattach bone to bone and provide stability. When a horse bows a tendon, ittears the fibers at a certain point of thetendon (the location results in a name,such as high or low bow), weakeningit significantly. When the tendonbegins to knit back together, it is significantly hampered by lack of bloodflow. Blood provides several healingmechanisms, including adult stemcells, which are able to convert themselves into specific types of cells thebody needs to heal itself (in this case...
