Summary

Equine regenerative medicine services that use adult stem cells to support healing and recovery in horses. Stem cells are harvested from bone marrow, either from the patient (autologous) or from specialized donor horses (allogeneic), then processed, cultured, and stored in a dedicated laboratory. These therapies are used clinically for conditions involving bone and cartilage injuries, corneal disease, wound healing, and nerve damage. The program integrates research and clinical care through collaboration among veterinarians, scientists, and engineers, translating laboratory discoveries into practical treatments. Regenerative therapies are provided in partnership with referral veterinarians and the veterinary medical center to deliver advanced, science‑based options for equine patients.
