Mesenchymal stem cells for therapy of severe refractory gingival stomatitis in cats

Immune-mediated, oral mucosal inflammatory diseases are prevalent in human population. The pathogenesis of these diseases is complex and heterogeneous. Naturally occurring disease in client-owned animal species serve as useful animal models of human disease, as they reflect the complex genetic, environmental, and physiologic variation present in outbred populations. Feline chronic gingival stomatitis (FCGS) is a severe idiopathic oral inflammatory disease of cats that is estimated to affect 0.7% to 10% of the general population.
