What's New


Now recruiting dogs for new clinical trial in Dermatology

We are investigating the effect of stem and regenerative cell therapy on atopic dermatitis (allergies) in dogs.  In Part 1 of the study, using cells from the dog's own fat tissue, we will treat each dog with either a stem and regenerative cell preparation or with a placebo.  In Part 2, we will offer the cell preparation to the placebo treated dogs and potentially treat other dogs a second time.  This study lasts for 28 days (Part 1) then an additional 84 days (Part 2).  See Effect of Adipose-Derived Stem and Regenerative Cell Therapy on Atopic Dermatitis.

Tiny Dog Treated with Breakthrough Procedure for Heart Defect

"Gizmo", a Yorkshire Terrier, was brought by his owner from Florida to participate in our clinical trial in Cardiology.  A new tiny duct occluder has been created to close a heart defect called patent ductus arteriosus in dogs under and equal to 3 kg (6.6 pounds).  See the full article.  Read more about the clinical trial.
