Pioneering feline embryonic stem cells could transform veterinary regenerative medicine
As different as they may seem, humans and cats have similar ailments, but in terms of health care, veterinary regenerative medicine is not as advanced. A possible solution rests in embryonic stem cells, which can differentiate into various types of cells and be transplanted to restore internal damage. Further, they are characterized by their near-natural state, similar to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
