Stem Cells, Peptides & Immunotherapy

Like a blank slate, stem cells can develop into any celltype. As a result of this property, stem cells offer the promise ofregenerating tissue where disease has damaged it and caused it to losefunction. For decades, researchers have promoted stem cells as a potentialtreatment for multiple types of illness.Doctors already use stem cells totreat human patients with lymphoma, leukaemia and other solid malignanttumours. We believe that pets can also get benefit from stem cell treatmentsfor injuries to bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and the spinal cord; anddiseases such as osteoarthritis. Early research has shown that that stem cell treatment mightsuccessfully treat stomatitis (a severe and painful oral disease) in cats anddry eye in dogs. The process is as follows: stem cells are injected by a veterinarianinto the affected tissue, such as a knee joint damaged by osteoarthritis. Thestem cellsmove to the damaged or inflamed tissue, cause new tissue to grow,reduce the inflammation and relieve pain. This new tissue closely resembles theoriginal tissue, in fact more so than the scar tissue that would typically growin an untreated inflamed area.
