| Athletes and Newts!
What's the connection? |
|
Tendon injuries are a serious obstacle for athletes, who currently require several months of treatment before they can return to competition.
However, animals such as newts can rebuild severed tendons in as little as 12 weeks, without leaving scar tissue. To understand how they do this, a research group, led by Associate Professor Eijiro Maeda and Professor Takeo Matsumoto, investigated newts as a model for tendon regeneration. |
|
The researchers investigated injured flexor tendons from the middle toe of the hind foot, a body part common to both newts and mice. They found that six weeks after injury, the newts had developed new tissue resembling tendon tissue and at 12 weeks, the regenerated tissue showed strength comparable to that of a healthy tendon and was completely scar-free. |
|
However, in mice, the healing tissue differed from the healthy tendon tissue.
Even at 12 weeks, its strength remained below that of the healthy tendon. |
|
The key to newt tendon regeneration is in the early stages after injury," Maeda said. "They make a small and weak tendon first and it remodels, gaining strength and stiffness with time. If we can mimic this simple regeneration strategy, we can help human athletes to heal better without invasive surgery." |

IT'S BEEN A HECTIC START TO THE YEAR AND THIS NEW COURSE FORMAT IS SELLING OUT FAST!
|
|
Ideal for the busy practitioner... |
|
This online 3-hour tutorial is the ideal way to learn when you don't have much time. The course includes pre-course online learning material, training manual, 3-hour live call with your instructor and all the post-course resources and support that forms an integral part of the MSTR® course.
How does this compare to the Live class?
To begin with, it's more cost effective than a Live class! But we understand that some still love the Live class environment in which to learn.
Even so, it's great to have extra option of joining a Small Group - and the convenience of learning from your home!

Faculty of Research and Medicine, University of Manchester, UK.
We wait with patience as she collates the research information on our behalf.
