2-day working meeting consisting of:
Scientific presentations, live demonstrations & discussions related to all aspects of stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine in horses and other animals.
Topics include latest research and techniques regarding:
- Harvesting and expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS)
- Cryopreservation of MSCs and iPS cells
- Clinical applications/methodologies/manifestations of the use of stem cells in orthopedics and other medical specialties
Equine Practitioner Roundtable
Discuss where and how regenerative medicine fits in the practice of veterinary medicine. Several prominent practitioners will be presenting cases and attendees are encouraged to bring their case experiences to the session to encourage an open dialogue on therapeutic regenerative medicine applications. There will also be a live demonstration of stem cell collection techniques from bone marrow and fat and laboratory processing of bone marrow samples at the Alamo Pintado Center for Biological Medicine laboratory. For equine veterinary practitioners who want to learn and understand the basics of stem cell therapy and the principles of regenerative medicine, this is definitely the meeting to attend. Moderated by Dr. Doug Herthel
