Equine tendons: reducing the risk of injury

Tendons are composed of a dense fibrous extracellular matrix, mainly consisting of type I collagen, which is synthesized by tenocytes (Thorpe et al, 2010).

Laterality: implications for equine management and performance

Cerebral hemisphere differentiation is well documented in vertebrates (De Boyer Des Roches et al, 2008; Rogers, 2010) (Table 1), with the left hemisphere considered to be responsible for...
