1. A method of treating a soft skeletal tissue injury in a patient, wherein the soft skeletal tissue injury is a tendon or ligament injury, the method comprising:
- isolating bone marrow cells comprising mesenchymal stem cells and culturing the bone marrow cells in vitro to generate a composition enriched for mesenchymal stem cells and administering to the tendon or ligament injury of the patient the composition enriched for mesenchymal stem cells in a liquid suspension of bone marrow supernatant, wherein said administering promotes regeneration of the tendon or ligament at the site of the tendon or ligament injury.

Abstract
A method of treating a natural soft skeletal tissue injury in a patient the method comprising administering to the patient a composition of mesenchymal stem cells in liquid suspension enriched compared to the natural source of said cells, or tenocytes derived therefrom. The method is particularly suited to the regeneration of tendons in competitive mammals, such as the superficial digital flexor tendon of the horse.

19. A method of treating a soft skeletal tissue injury in a patient, wherein the soft skeletal tissue injury is a tendon or ligament injury, the method comprising:
- isolating a bone marrow aspirate comprising bone marrow cells;
culturing the bone marrow cells in vitro to generate a composition comprising an enriched concentration of mesenchymal stem cells in liquid suspension media, wherein the enriched concentration of mesenchymal stem cells is at least two-fold enriched relative to that of the bone marrow aspirate; and
administering the composition comprising the enriched concentration of mesenchymal stem cells to the tendon or ligament injury of the patient, wherein said administering promotes repair of the tendon or ligament at the site of the tendon or ligament injury. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
