In this issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, guest editor Ds. Lauren V. Schnabel brings her considerable expertise to the topic of Use of Biologic and Regenerative Therapies in Equine Practice. Top experts in the field explain what the main biologic and regenerative therapies are, what they contain, evidence to date for how they should be used, and how to monitor response to treatment. While the majority of the issue will focus on musculoskeletal applications, other indications for use will be discussed including wounds and ophthalmologic conditions as well as other inflammatory diseases.
