Stem cells are cells that are undifferentiated and can renew
themselves. They are found in the embryo and in many tissues of adult
individuals. In adult individuals, there are stem cells in, for example,
fat, muscle, bone marrow and skin tissue. Many adults' stem cells are multipotent: for example, cells isolated from fat and bone marrow can differentiate at minimum into cartilage and bone cells.

TendoStem® is an equine tendon treatment based on stem cell technology. During the treatment, stem cells are introduced into the damaged tendon, where they start forming tendon tissue. The aim is that the horse can successfully continue as a racehorse or as a horse for a hobbyist.

New treatments for other species and other types of injuries are currently under development.
