Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are a very promising subpopulation of adult stem cells for
cell-based regenerative therapies in veterinary medicine. Despite major progress in the
knowledge on adult stem cells during recent years, a proper identification of MSC remains a
challenge. In human medicine, the Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the
International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) recently proposed three criteria to define
MSC. Firstly, cells must be plastic-adherent when maintained under standard culture …
