Veterinary Network update - May
Hi There
You’re receiving this as a member of the Elita Genetics Veterinary Network, a space where scientific evidence meets clinical care.
This month, we have some breaking news from a companion animal stem cell bank in the US, a thought-provoking podcast for your commute, and a behind-the-scenes look at Elita Genetics HQ.
Don’t forget, we are also continually adding to our research library of published papers and other research resources on our Veterinary Professionals Portal.
Stem cell news from around the world
40,000 Treatments and Counting
VetStem Inc. has surpassed 40,000 stem cell treatments delivered to pets across the US, a milestone that speaks to both clinical interest and operational maturity.
For Elita Genetics, this reinforces the need to build a scalable, secure biobanking framework locally, and collaborate on generating long-term outcomes data in the Australian context.
Podcast for the commute
A K9’s Return to Duty (38mins)
Drs Doug Johannessen and Jace Lindburger share the story of Patrick, a police dog treated with stem cells after hip dysplasia. His therapy allowed him to return to active duty and continue his service.
