Summary:Stem cells represent a very important part of regenerative medicine. They have unprecedented potential for the treatment of various diseases and injuries in both humans and other animals. Furthermore, stem cells are characterized by their ability to both self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types and these exact abilities can be used in the development, maintenance, and repair of damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells can be classified based on their source and developmental stage, with further categorization according to their differentiation potential. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly those derived from bone marrow and adipose tissue, have attracted significant attention in veterinary medicine due to their versatility and accessibility. This review highlights char-acterisation, sources and therapeutic applications of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in some diseases in the field of veterinary stomatology.
