Stem cell therapy
The term “stem cells” has been under discussion for lengthy period of time and emerges periodically in the media. One of the reasons is certainly that people hope that research into stem cells will resolve most medical conditions afflicting humans and animals. So the media has informed people that new tissues like cartilage, kidneys, heart valves etc have been developed in laboratories.
The progress of using stem cells for treating horses has been slower, as there is as yet, no scientific evidence of a reliable therapeutic effect when using stem cell treatment. When treating horses we use mesenchymal stem cells instead of embryonic stem cells. Cells are removed from the patients bone marrow. These will be sent to a laboratory to grow single stem cells. The laboratory will need several weeks for this expensive and time consuming procedure. This method results in a very small amount of concetrated cells that can be used for injection.
Many horse owners out of desperation will agree to the cultivation of stem cells and are prepared to devote their time and money into this expensive and lengthy method.
We have experienced excellent results in combining Osteokin® with processed bone marrow and offer this treatment at a considerably lower price.
This combination contains - in addition to the stem cells - growth factors and other important substances, which tell the stem cells “what to do”.
