Bone Marrow Derived or Adipose? Autologous or Allogeneic? Embryonic or Adult? Stem cells and the knowledge surrounding their use in regenerative medicine has rapidly evolved throughout the past two decades. From the various sources where they can be collected to the processing and administration of these cells, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with conflicting information about their use in veterinary medicine. In this webinar, Dr. Sherman Canapp Jr. will provide an overview of stem cell biology and how these cells can be used to treat various conditions including osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries.
