A Comparison of Neurosphere Differentiation Potential of Canine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Stem cell transplantation is one of the most promising yet enigmatic treatments for spinal cord injury (SCI), a common problem in dogs. As pre-differentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be expanded and differentiated into neurospheres in vitro, before being transplanted back, they may prove to be more beneficial for treating SCI. Therefore, we compared the endogenous differentiation potential, including the neuronal cell differentiation,...
