Injecting DNA into injured horse tendons and
ligaments can cure lameness, new research involving scientists at Kazan Federal
University, Moscow State Academy and The University of Nottingham has found.
The gene therapy technology was used in
horses that had gone lame due to injury and within two to three weeks the
horses were able to walk and trot. Within just two months they were back to
full health, galloping and competing.
The study has big implications not just for
the veterinary world but the future of human medicine -- injuries like these
are common in people as well as animals, not just in lameness but in other
illnesses and diseases from the legs and arms through to the back and hips.
