Stem-cell therapy is one of the fastest-growing fields in veterinary medicine across Australia and worldwide.

Veterinary stem cells (usually mesenchymal stem cells) are used to treat:

• Arthritis & degenerative joint disease

• Soft-tissue injuries (tendons, ligaments)

• Immune-mediated diseases

• Wound healing

• Spinal injuries

• Organ failure support (liver, kidney)

Growing demand:

• Australia already hosts multiple regenerative clinics.

• Many veterinarians report “limited or inconsistent access” to high-quality stem-cell products.

• Stem-cell therapy is becoming a first-line treatment in high-performance horses, aged dogs, and wildlife rehabilitation.

Why a biobank is needed:

• Quality varies significantly between small private labs.

• Long-term storage and donor screening ensures safe, reliable, consistent stem-cell doses.

• Backup storage protects client samples from loss or degradation.
