  2. What are Stem Cells?Stem Cells are primitive cells present in almost every tissue Self Renewing Able to become different tissue types Signal other cells to come in and rescue and repair 6650-0019-001

  3. What Do Adult Stem Cells Do? 10 million cells die in your body every minute of every day. Your stem cells replace them so you can continue living. 6650-0019-001

  4. Embryonic vs Adult Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells Intended to form whole animal - not for repair Can form tumors – UNPREDICTABLE Ethical dilemma Maybe someday Adult Stem Cells – many sources Intended for self repair No ethical dilemma Do not form tumors when injected Available now Gruen L and Grabel L, Stem Cell 2006;24;2162-2169. 6650-0019-001

  5. Why Fat as Stem Cell Source? High healing cell count – No culturing required 1000 times more stem cells than bone marrow Family of healing cells Rapid, Easy to access Over 1700 peer reviewed papers published 6650-0019-001

  6. What Do Stem Cells Do? Reduce Inflammation Reduce pain Differentiation into tissue Home in on injury sites Induce healing-regeneration 6650-0019-001

  7. The Injury Response Cascade Time Inflammation Magnitude “Regeneration” Fibrosis QUICK FIX Courtesy of Dr.Caplan, Case Western Reserve Acute Injury Scar Complete 6650-0019-001

  8. Stem Cells in Injury Response “Regeneration” Magnitude Inflammation Fibrosis Stem Cells Time Courtesy of Dr. Caplan, Case Western Reserve Scar Reduced Acute Injury 6650-0019-001

  9. Annie Annie 9 yr LabX Chronic elbow arthritis Drugs not controlling pain Stem Cell Therapy Able to jump in and out of car; took 2 hour run in the woods 90 days after stem cell therapy 6650-0019-001

  15. Safety Profile* Horses: 7/3,359 (0.2%) Only local swelling/pain Dog: 2/1,695 (0.1%) Only local swelling/pain *probable adverse events, through 6/1/09 6650-0019-001

  16. Quality Standards • Written standard operating procedures • Independent Quality Assurance Unit • Routine audits of all procedures • Sample release criteria • Formal training systems 6650-0019-001

  17. Service Overview 6650-0019-001

  18. Vet-Stem Adipose Processing Lab 1. Immediate use 3. Lifetime supply by culture 2. Frozen for future 6650-0019-001

  19. Current Supported UsesDogs/Cats Osteoarthritis Polyarthritis Tendonitis Ligament injury 6650-0019-001

  20. Ideal Stem Cell Case Pet w/ lameness or pain due to arthritis or a partial tear of a ligament or tendon Pet does not require surgery – surgery first, if needed No other major diseases (liver, kidney, heart) No major spinal disease (spondylosis, spinal arthritis) Not-responsive or can’t tolerate pain killers Realistic expectations 6650-0019-001

  21. Cruciate Ligament Disease & Stem Cells • Surgery – always have surgery when required • With surgery – helps to reduce inflammation and scar tissue • After surgery – helps to treat inflammation and encourage cartilage repair • Chronic ACL inflammation and synovitis is a good case 6650-0019-001

  22. Storm Storm 9yr Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix Arthritis in both hips and right stifle Unable/unwilling to take medications 3 weeks after treatment started showing improvement Later his left stifle was treated after surgical repair Storm and owners happy that he is doing extremely well 6650-0019-001
