In this episode, we spoke with Liara Gonzalez, DVM, PhD, DACVS-LA, about her research on equine intestinal injury and recovery. Dr. Gonzalez’s lab was the first to develop a large animal pig model to study intestinal stem cells. It was also the first to identify these cells in horses and to grow intestinal stem cells into enteroids derived from pigs and horses. Her research is advancing our understanding of intestinal disease through expanded knowledge and use of equine intestinal stem cells in modulating mucosal barrier repair following ischemic damage.
