Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse (2018)
Journal Article
Vertz, J., Deblanc, D., Rhodin, M., & Pfau, T. (2018). Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse. PLoS ONE, 13(6), e0199447. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0199447

In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes,...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells do not enhance intra-synovial tendon healing despite engraftment and homing to niches within the synovium (2018)
Journal Article
Khan, M. R., Dudhia, J., David, F. H., De Godoy, R., Mehra, V., Hughes, G., …Smith, R. K. W. (2018). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells do not enhance intra-synovial tendon healing despite engraftment and homing to niches within the synovium. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-018-0900-7

Intra-synovial tendon injuries display poor healing, which often results in reduced functionality and pain. A lack of effective therapeutic options has led to experimental approaches to augment natural tendon repair with autologous mesenchymal stem c...
