A new professional organization, the North American Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Association, has been launched as the result of a recent international conference, co-sponsored by 嘿嘿视频, which focused on the use of stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine to treat horses and other animals.
The new North American Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Association will be dedicated to advancing the science and clinical application of non-embryo-derived stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine techniques that use stem cells derived from other sources.
鈥淭he association鈥檚 goal is to facilitate scientific investigations with stem cells that are acquired from fat, bone-marrow and umbilical-cord sources, and to combine that knowledge with other regenerative medicine techniques that are designed to improve the health care of animals and humans alike,鈥 said Sean Owens, a veterinary professor and director of 嘿嘿视频鈥 Regenerative Medicine Laboratory.
The independent association is open to membership for all regenerative medicine researchers, stem cell biologists, biomedical engineers, clinicians and health technicians. Membership information can be obtained from Owens at
