Szeged (Hungary), Apr 19 (ANI): A Siberian tiger in a Hungarian zoo was given stem cell joint treatment to heal his hip without the need of giving painkillers. The tiger named Igor, is the first to receive Lipogems stem-cell treatment. Extracts from his own fatty tissue, which contains regenerative stem cells, were injected back into his ailing joints. His surgeon says the treatment should vastly improve the Hungarian zoo animal's quality of life.
