Mineralization can be an incidental ultrasonographic finding in equine tendons and ligaments (2018)
Journal Article
O'Brien, E. J. O., & Smith, R. K. W. (2018). Mineralization can be an incidental ultrasonographic finding in equine tendons and ligaments. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12628

Tendon/ligament mineralization is recognized in horses but information regarding its clinical significance is limited. The aims of this observational study were to report the structures most commonly affected by ultrasonographically detectable minera...

Arthroscopic treatment for cervical articular process joint osteochondrosis in a Thoroughbred horse (2018)
Journal Article
Tucker, R., Piercy, R. J., Dixon, J. J., Muir, C. F., Smith, K. C., Potter, K. E., …Smith, R. K. W. (2018). Arthroscopic treatment for cervical articular process joint osteochondrosis in a Thoroughbred horse. Equine Veterinary Education, 30(3), 116-121. https://doi.org/10.1111/eve.12610

A yearling Thoroughbred colt was presented for investigation of neck stiffness and episodes of intermittent neck pain without neurological signs. Osteochondrosis (OCD) of the cervical articular process joints (APJs) was diagnosed with the aid of radi...

Exposure of a tendon extracellular matrix to synovial fluid triggers endogenous and engrafted cell death: A mechanism for failed healing of intrathecal tendon injuries (2016)
Journal Article
Garvican, E. R., Salavati, M., Smith, R. K. W., & Dudhia, J. (2016). Exposure of a tendon extracellular matrix to synovial fluid triggers endogenous and engrafted cell death: A mechanism for failed healing of intrathecal tendon injuries. Connective Tissue Research, 58(5), 438-446. https://doi.org/10.1080/03008207.2016.1245726

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of normal synovial fluid (SF) on exposed endogenous tendon-derived cells (TDC) and engrafted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within the tendon extracellular matrix. Methods: Explants from eq...

Proteomic Analysis of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Reveals Disease Stage- specific Fragmentation and Differential Cleavage of COMP ( Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein) (2014)
Journal Article
Dakin, S. G., Smith, R. K. W., Heinegard, D., Onnerfjord, P., Khabut, A., & Dudhia, J. (2014). Proteomic Analysis of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Reveals Disease Stage- specific Fragmentation and Differential Cleavage of COMP ( Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein). Journal of Biological Chemistry, 289(8), 4919-4927. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M113.511972

During inflammatory processes the extracellular matrix (ECM) is extensively remodeled, and many of the constituent components are released as proteolytically cleaved fragments. These degradative processes are better documented for inflammatory joint...
