Overview
VetCell
Bioscience Limited is the leading provider of stem cell technology to
the world of animal health. The Company was formed in partnership
with the Royal Veterinary College and the Institute for Orthopaedic and
Musculoskeletal Science to develop the veterinary use of stem cell
technologies.
VetCell has rapidly commercialised a technique for the multiplication of
equine stem cells which can be used in the treatment of tendon and
ligament injury. This service is now available to veterinary surgeons in
the UK and internationally. VetCell has also developed a simple method
for separating and storing stem cells from the umbilical cord of foals.
This service is fully available for the 2005 stud season.
These products provide the platform from which the company will expand
to provide a new globally available range of veterinary therapeutic
options in cats, dogs, horses and other domestic species.
