RESEARCH S.1 E.6 - Use Of Stem Cells To Treat Equine Asthma - Dr Dorothee Bienzle

Dr. Dorothee Bienzle is a researcher at the Ontario Veterinary College who discusses new research investigating the use of stem cells to treat equine asthma by answering the following questions:

00:00 Start
00:05 Introduction
00:43 Can you tell us a little bit about how horses develop this irreversible disease and the importance of prevention?
04:08 So tell us about the new regenerative therapies like stem cells that are under investigation to treat horses for equine asthma.
06:35 What’s the delivery method under development for using stem cells to treat equine asthma?
07:44 What were the challenges of this study?
08:53 What have the results of the study yielded so far?
11:19 Who funded this study and will there be future studies for stem cell therapy applications to potentially treat equine asthma?
11:59 Is there anything you’d like to sum up or mention in closing?
