Persistence Market Research (PMR) has published a new research report on canine stem cell therapy. The report has been titled, Canine Stem Cell Therapy Market:Global Industry Analysis 2016 and Forecast 20172026.Veterinary research has been used in regenerative and adult stem cell therapy andhas gained significant traction over the last decade.

Canine stem cell therapy products are identified to have gained prominence over the past five years, and according to the aforementioned research report, the market for canine stem cell therapy will expand at a moderate pace over the next few years.

Though all animal stem cells are not approved by FDA, veterinary stem-cell manufacturers and university researchers have been adopting various strategies in order to meet regulatory approvals, and streamline and expedite the review-and-approval process.

The vendors in the market are incessantly concentrating on research and development to come up with advanced therapy, in addition to acquiring patents.

In September 2017, VetStem Biopharma, Inc. received European patent granted to the University of Pittsburgh and VetStem received full license of the patent then.

This patent will eventually provide the coverage for the ongoing commercial and product development programs of VetStem and might be also available for licensing to other companies who are rather interested in this field.

Company Profiles

According to the Persistence Market Research report, the globalcanine stem cell therapy marketis expected to witness aCAGR of 4.2%during the forecast period 2017-2026. In 2017, the market was valued atUS$ 151.4 Mnand is expected to rise to a valuation ofUS$ 218.2 Mnby the end of 2026.

Burgeoning Prevalence of Chronic Diseases in Dogs to Benefit Market

Adipose Stem Cells(ASCs) are the most prevalent and in-demand adult stem cells owing to their safety profile, ease of harvest, and use and the ability to distinguish into multiple cell lineages. Most early clinical research is focused on adipose stem cells to treat various chronic diseases such as arthritis, tendonitis, lameness, and atopic dermatitis in dogs.

A large area of focus in veterinary medicine is treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs, which becomes more prevalent with age. Globally, more than 20% dogs are suffering from arthritis, which is a common form of canine joint and musculoskeletal disease. Out of those 20%, merely 5% seem to receive the treatment.

However, elbow dysplasia in canine registered a prevalence rate of 64%, converting it into an alarming disease condition to be treated on priority. Thereby, with the growing chronic disorders in canine, the demand for stem cell therapy is increasing at a significant pace.

Expensive Nature of Therapy to Obstruct Growth Trajectory

Expensive nature and limited access to canine stem cell therapy has demonstrated to be a chief hindrance forestalling its widespread adoption.

The averagetier II and tier IIIveterinary hospitals lack the facilities and expertise to perform stem cell procedures, which necessitates the referral to a specialty vet hospital with expertise veterinarians. A trained veterinary physician charges high treatment cost associated with stem cell therapy for dogs.

Generally, dog owners have pet insurance that typically covers maximum cost associated with steam cell therapy to treat the initial injury but for the succeeding measures in case of retreatment, the costs are not covered under the pet insurance.

The stem cell therapy is thus cost-prohibitive for a large number of pet owners, which highlights a major restraint to the market growth. Stem cell therapy is still in its developmental stage and a positive growth outcome for the market cannot be confirmed yet.

Dog About Town: Holiday party hopping and more things to do - The Dallas Morning News

The mechanical forces of the 60:40 and 70:30 ratios Bowker sees put pressure on the coffin joint, which eventually leads to navicular disease, he explained (see #5 in the sidebar). Everyone knows this and understands some of the biomechanical issues with this type of foot, but few try to aggressively correct the problem, he told The Horse. Many foot professionals say that such feet are not correctable, or they are only manageable. With this long toe-underrun heel foot, the already-long toe continues to get longer. I mean the actual coffin bone begins to get longer: Its conformation is gradually changing.

As the coffin bone gets longer, the vasculature beneath it must change at the expense of the back part of the foot and the frog; basically, the expanded toe area demands more of the foots blood supply, routing it away from the back of the hoof, which he said is detrimental for the hoof and its overall long-term health.

Of all these husbandry practices, the long-toe, underrun heel is probably the worst one that will give rise to navicular and will definitely make any bout of laminitis much worse, Bowker told The Horse. With a long-toe, underrun heel, the tissues supporting and surrounding the coffin bone become compromised and the distal (bottom) end of the coffin bone gets less and less support and becomes thinner and thinner along the edges, especially the lateral (away from the midline) side of the foot. These changes will often result in pedal osteitis; many people have heard of this problem.

When theres a bout of laminitis (and added) toe pressure through some rotation at the toe, the bone cannot support the weight of the horse with this peripheral thinning of the bone, and the coffin bone becomes crushed, he added. Thats the end of the horse!

We are setting the horse up for failure by having a long toe with our trimming methods, regardless of whether the horse is shod or barefoot, he said.

Bowker trims to shorten the toe and promote caudal (toward the rear) migration of the heels to bring the central sulcus (the cleft between the heels) back to the sole of the foot so it makes light contact with the ground. He said trimming with these goals can improve the foots health and get the ratio to approach 40:60allowing the back part of the foot to enlarge and return to its robust health.

Our (industry standard) trimming is such that very few people trim inside the white line, he said, and not only does the hoof wall get longer, the coffin bone gets longerthis remodeling changes the conformation of the bone and its bone density. My belief is that we can correct that, but its going to take time and effort.

Medical doctors have used stem cell therapy to help treat a myriad of orthopedic conditions in people. Veterinarians have similarly used stem cell therapy, but were still learning about the benefits and risks of this treatment modality in pets. In this weeks post I share some information about stem cell therapy to increase awareness of this novel treatment. Happy reading!

Regenerative medicine also called orthobiologics is a relatively new way of treating certain health conditions, typically involving the musculoskeletal system. Using various techniques, veterinarians can make and introduce a solution with a high concentration of substances like growth factors and anti-inflammatory chemicals into a part of the body that tends to heal poorly or slowly. Many folks hear or read the term regenerative medicine and immediately think of cloning or growing new tissues in a laboratory. Thats not regenerative medicine.

Using stem cells is a form of regenerative medicine. There are two types of stem cells made by mammals: those of embryonic origin and those from fully matured (aka adult) tissue. There is a key difference between the two types. Embryonic stem cells differentiate into any cell cell this characteristic is called totipotency. In contrast, adult stem cells differentiate into more than one cell type but not all of them this characteristic is called multipotency. Under normal conditions, stem cells divide and differentiate to replace dead cells to facilitate tissue renewal.

In veterinary medicine, we use adult-derived stem cells. These cells are also called mesenchymal stem cells, and they exist naturally in muscle, fat, cartilage, bone, and bone marrow, as well as in the tissues that make up the circulatory, urinary, and reproductive systems. The International Society for Cellular Therapy established criteria for a cell to qualify as a therapeutic mesenchymal stem cell, including:

We preferentially use the term mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) when referencing stem cells harvested from bone marrow and fat. Why? Because cells from these locations dont possess all of the characteristics of stem cells described above. Nevertheless, MSCs are the most common types used in veterinary medicine.

Mesenchymal stromal cells are categorized based on the animal from which they where harvested, specifically:

Research suggests MSCs may be used for a variety of patient benefits, particularly:

In veterinary medicine, doctors most commonly use MSCs for orthopedic issues like osteoarthritis, ligament injuries (i.e.: cranial cruciate ligament rupture), and tendon problems (i.e.: supraspinatus tendinopathy). There are also published and/or ongoing clinical trials using MSCs for non-orthopedic conditions, including:

Pet owners should remember stem cell therapy is not a therapeutic panacea. For pets to reap maximal benefits of stem cell therapy, veterinarians must have a definitive diagnosis and they need to be able to treat the underlying health condition(s). Stem cell therapy does not replace conventional therapeutic interventions it augments them.

Veterinarians will need to sedate or anesthetize pets to procure mesenchymal stromal cells from adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow. They can obtain a sample of bone marrow from the humerus (upper arm bone), tibia (shin), ilium (part of the hip), or femur (upper leg bone). Veterinarians harvest adipose tissue from either the axilla (armpit) or inguinal region (groin).

Once harvested, veterinarians can either submit cells for culturing or they can process them immediately for administration. Culturing is a technique that allows one to develop an expanded population of homogeneous (very similar) MSCs. This technique is performed at specialized laboratories. In contrast, veterinarians immediately process non-cultured samples using a specific type of on-site centrifuge. Processing non-cultured cells are concentrates them, but doesnt result in population expansion.

Once processed, the MSCs are injected into the target tissue. This typically requires sedation or anesthesia. Administration is an outpatient procedure, and veterinarians usually discharge patients with a short course of pain medication. Those receiving therapy for orthopedic conditions usually participate in rehabilitation under the guidance of a board-certified veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist or certified canine rehabilitation practitioner (CCRP).

Stem cell therapy for cats and dogs is growing in popularity due to documented success in human medicine. There are many health conditions that may benefit from MSC therapy in veterinary medicine, and weve had some positive improvements in certain diseases. Nevertheless, we still have a lot to learn about the role of regenerative medicine in veterinary medicine.

Stem Cell Therapy & Your Pet - CriticalCareDVM

Aaron Hirschhorn started Gallant Pet because he loves his dog. We all do, and he wanted to make life easier for his elderly dog who was suffering from arthritis. Since Aaron had relief from chronic back pain from regenerative stem cell therapy, he knew it would work for his dog too.

He had experience with a pet related called DogVacay, a peer to peer dog sitting website. The site was acquired by Rover, the monster of that industry. Gallant Pet is a whole different ball game though there are far more moving parts. Stem cell therapy helps with a variety of injuries in pets from dry eye to arthritis to help heal injuries. In order to inject stem cells, you need to have them in the first place.

What Gallant Pet does is work with veterinarians. When a vet spays or neuters a dog, they retain the reproductive organs which contain stem cells. They ship them to Gallant's lab and Gallant stores them in a cryofreezer in their lab. When your dog needs regenerative therapy in the future, you call the lab and they ship the cells to your vet for treatment.

Stem cell therapy is a proven method for dogs and humans. The methodology for treatment is essentially the same, the only difference is the species being treated. Veterinarian bills can get quite pricey for serious conditions on dogs and ongoing treatments. With stem cell therapy, depending on the injury, results can be much better and far less expensive. It's a good business. Aaron probably wants a Shark to add to the $11 million in venture funds he's already raised.

I LOVE my dog. I've loved every dog that's been in my life. My current dog, Zoey (pictured above), is a three and a half year old American Bulldog. She's seventy pounds of pure mayhem, but she's very loyal, obedient and sweet. She's still young and in very good health. We adopted her at two years old, so we missed out on harvesting stem cells for her. I pray we don't need them.

My previous dog, Bailey, passed in June, 2017 one month shy of her 16th birthday. She was a healthy dog until her final two years or so that's when the arthritis kicked in. She was a larger dog about 80 pounds and she had a tough time getting up and moving around at the end. If stem cell therapy would have helped her, I'd have gladly spent the money. Unfortunately, harvesting stem cells for dogs wasn't a thing when she was born. Like Aaron, I know people will do anything for their dogs. That's why I know his business will succeed. I am in.

It's no coincidence that Gallant Pet is pitching when Anne Wojcicki is on the panel as a Guest Shark. The recent influx of Guest Sharks means you see businesses pitching to the guest's niche. Tonight is no exception. While he's already raised $11 million, he's going to need more cash to make Gallant Pet a big business. There's a lot of outreach and education to veterinarians and the dog loving public that needs to be done.

As for which Shark bids, Wojcicki is the obvious target. She's in that online/medical/sample collection niche. 23AndMe collects and analyzes samples, so there's some synergy there. As for the other Sharks, Daymond is a dog lover, but this is a little out of his wheel house. Lori probably won't get on board, neither will Kevin, unless it's a token Kevin bid to spice things up. Mark may get involved if the numbers are good and we could see him team up with Wojcicki. I predict a deal.

Overview of Animal Medication Market with the Productivity Data Analysis and Future Forecast According to Leading Companies Bayer HealthCare AG,...

Persistence Market Research (PMR) has published a new research report on canine stem cell therapy. The report has been titled, Canine Stem Cell Therapy Market: Global Industry Analysis 2016 and Forecast 20172026.Veterinary research has been used in regenerative and adult stem cell therapy andhas gained significant traction over the last decade.

Canine stem cell therapy products are identified to have gained prominence over the past five years, and according to the aforementioned research report, the market for canine stem cell therapy will expand at a moderate pace over the next few years.

Though all animal stem cells are not approved by FDA, veterinary stem-cell manufacturers and university researchers have been adopting various strategies in order to meet regulatory approvals, and streamline and expedite the review-and-approval process.

The vendors in the market are incessantly concentrating on research and development to come up with advanced therapy, in addition to acquiring patents.

In September 2017, VetStem Biopharma, Inc. received European patent granted to the University of Pittsburgh and VetStem received full license of the patent then.

This patent will eventually provide the coverage for the ongoing commercial and product development programs of VetStem and might be also available for licensing to other companies who are rather interested in this field.

Company Profiles

According to the Persistence Market Research report, the globalcanine stem cell therapy marketis expected to witness a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2017-2026. In 2017, the market was valued at US$ 151.4 Mn and is expected to rise to a valuation of US$ 218.2 Mn by the end of 2026.

Burgeoning Prevalence of Chronic Diseases in Dogs to Benefit Market

Adipose Stem Cells (ASCs) are the most prevalent and in-demand adult stem cells owing to their safety profile, ease of harvest, and use and the ability to distinguish into multiple cell lineages. Most early clinical research is focused on adipose stem cells to treat various chronic diseases such as arthritis, tendonitis, lameness, and atopic dermatitis in dogs.

A large area of focus in veterinary medicine is treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs, which becomes more prevalent with age. Globally, more than 20% dogs are suffering from arthritis, which is a common form of canine joint and musculoskeletal disease. Out of those 20%, merely 5% seem to receive the treatment.

However, elbow dysplasia in canine registered a prevalence rate of 64%, converting it into an alarming disease condition to be treated on priority. Thereby, with the growing chronic disorders in canine, the demand for stem cell therapy is increasing at a significant pace.

Expensive Nature of Therapy to Obstruct Growth Trajectory

Expensive nature and limited access to canine stem cell therapy has demonstrated to be a chief hindrance forestalling its widespread adoption.

The average tier II and tier III veterinary hospitals lack the facilities and expertise to perform stem cell procedures, which necessitates the referral to a specialty vet hospital with expertise veterinarians. A trained veterinary physician charges high treatment cost associated with stem cell therapy for dogs.

Generally, dog owners have pet insurance that typically covers maximum cost associated with steam cell therapy to treat the initial injury but for the succeeding measures in case of retreatment, the costs are not covered under the pet insurance.

The stem cell therapy is thus cost-prohibitive for a large number of pet owners, which highlights a major restraint to the market growth. Stem cell therapy is still in its developmental stage and a positive growth outcome for the market cannot be confirmed yet.

Canine Stem Cell Therapy Market Expected to Be Valued CAGR 4.2% by 2017 to 2026 - Zebvo

Im hairythats just fact, and its something Ive always been aware of. Ill never forget being in summer camp as a kid, wearing shorts every day and becoming very aware that my legs were much hairier than those of the girls around me. Now, Im no longer ashamed of being hairyIve actually come to embrace it. But in the past two decades, Ive gotten very acquainted with epilators, including laser hair removal.

I got my first laser hair removal treatment two years ago. It seemed like everyone was getting it done, but as a black woman, I knew I wasnt everyone. For brown skin, laser hair removal isnt a spur-of-the-moment decision, a process that should be approached through a Groupon or the local nail salon (yes, some nail salons actually perform laser hair removal). For us, the process can be a bit more expensive and tedious, and should be approached with the utmost caution.

Why? Well, lasers target pigment, and due to the high content of melanin in our skin, risks of discoloration and hyper-pigmentation are astronomically higher. So thats why, according to Chris Karavolas, owner of Romeo And Juliette Laser Hair Removal, darker skin requires a completely different laser all together, and operators with much more experience. Darker skin complexions need to be careful because not all centers have the right lasers for dark skin, and even if they do they do, many do not have enough experience in treating dark skin, he says.

When it comes to those specialized lasers, there are two options. Its important to treat with an Nd:YAG laser, such as the Candela GentleYAG or GentleMax Pro, says Anne Chapas, M.D., medical director of Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. The wavelength of a YAG laser goes deeper into the skin than a diode laser and is less absorbed by the surrounding skin pigment, so it more successfully treats the stem cells of the hair follicle. Additionally, more treatments may be required than for fairer skin: Expect to receive at least six sessions, Chapas says.

Knowing all these things, I went into laser hair removal with cautious optimism. I chose to treat my Brazilian areayears of improper hair removal had left me with ingrown and severe discoloration, to the point that my wax lady refused to continue treating me because my skin had gotten so irritated. I was sure that I wanted to continue being hair-free down there, so I decided to get laser hair removal on my vagina area. I was nervous heading into my first appointment, so I made sure to ask the aesthetician at Romeo & Juliette in-depth questions about her experience with dark skin, as well as requesting to see photos of previous clients and inquiring about a patch test. Then, it was showtime.

I like to think that I have a pretty high pain tolerance. However, laser removal certainly made me question that belief. I wont lie and say that it didnt hurt. It did. It felt like being snapped, hard, by rubber bands, but it was quick, and the results I saw were almost immediate. I was advised to shave right before the treatment, in order to give the laser immediate access to the hair follicle, and because, well, nobody likes the smell of burning hair. After about 10 minutes, I was sent on my way and advised to come back in another six weeks. Laser hair removal requires a strict schedule and works in conjunction with the hair cycle for optimal results. Every appointment thereafter was just as easy, and now, completely through all six of my sessions, my hair is almost completely gone, with the occasional stubble appearing here and there.

So how do you know if your skin will need one of these specialized lasers? Different ethnicitiesregardless of skin tonereact differently to lasers. Your skin may appear to be a 3 or 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale, but if youre, say, Latin or Asian, it could react to the laser as a 6 would, Dr. Chapas says. So be sure that youre only going to facilities that have operators trained in dermatology, and are skilled enough to differentiate your skin tone.
