CECRM STARTED COOPERATION WITH VETERINARY AMBULANCE KVETNA IN LEVICE

From June 1-th, 2023, our Centre of Experimental and Clinical Regenerative Medicine (CEKRM) at UVLF in Košice started cooperation with the private Veterinary Clinic Kvetná in Levice, formed by a team of 4 veterinarians under the leadership of MVDr. Nina Sviteková. The ambulance is primarily focused on companion animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots and reptiles. Ambulance specializes in internal medicine and soft tissue surgery. Hard tissue surgery is provided externally by MVDr. Jakub Faga.

Employees of VETERINARY AMBULANCE KVETNÁ in cooperation with our Centre of Experimental and Clinical Regenerative Medicine at UVLF in Košice are starting to apply innovative methods of treatment using bioactive molecules with regenerative potential, which we isolate from stem cells of animal tissues in our center. After detailed genomic and proteomic characterization of stem cells, it is possible to use sterile prepared bioactive molecules in the treatment of damaged soft and hard tissues, treatment of dry eye, but also in chronic kidney failure and spinal cord trauma. The first pilot studies recorded favorable therapeutic effects.

This cooperation will make it possible to expand the number of patients for whom we will provide access to the most modern treatment, especially in cases where standard therapy is unsuccessful. We believe that we will help improve the quality of life, partially or completely regenerate damaged tissues and extend the time spent together with our pets.
