Resumo

Stem cells are multi-lineage cells which can be differentiate into many other types of cells under specific conditions. The Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or hematopoietic cells are spindle shape cells that mainly originated from the bone marrow and used in different aspects of tissue engineering. The avian MSCs are also derived from chicken’s embryos and 1 to 14-days-old chicks. There are many sources from which the avian MSCs could be isolated including amnion, skin, lungs, cartilage, neurons, adipose tissues, and kidneys. Recently, the avian MSCs have been used in different poultry aspects such as treatment of bone and skin affections, prevention of some immunosuppressive viral diseases, as well as improving the gut health. Therefore, this review article spotlights on avian MSCs regarding their sources and different applications in the poultry field.
