Considerações sobre o uso de células-tronco no processo de cicatrização óssea.

Abstract

Bone provides the necessary support for the muscles to function and also serves as protection for vital organs. When a trauma occurs in this type of tissue recovery takes a long time, with major costs and make the animal go a long time without exercising their activities. Because they have an unlimited potential for proliferation and self-renewing stem cells help reduce this time. These cells have the properties required to promote the healing process as osteoinduction, osteoconduction and osteogenesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone healing process with the use of stem cells, since this topic is of great relevance today.
