Regenerative Strategies for Synovial Joints: A Human Medicine Perspective

Regenerative strategies for synovial joints: A human medicine perspective

In this state-of-the-art guest lecture, relevant common ground as well as important differences between modern human and equine orthopaedics will be highlighted. Regenerative strategies aimed at synovial joints such as IA mesenchymal stem cell approaches, as well as the use of scaffolds, hydrogels and bioprinting will be discussed, along with clinical challenges and future perspectives of such approaches for both species. In the process, this lecture will also touch upon the value of veterinary species including horses as translational models for human orthopaedic research. […]
