Joined April 2009
Interested in injury prevention and rehabilitation in baseball? This might be an interesting meeting. I will talk about ways to possibly prevent injury and how to optimize native tissue repair after injury. It should be fun!.

Our pre-clinical studies are still going strong too. If you ever wonder how we exercise our 3D engineered human ligaments, here my student Jared Ong is loading them into their gym (bioreactor) and placing them in the incubator.

I'm super excited to start playing with our new @KangaTech_ KT360 RFD. We are hoping that this will help us develop the next generation of training plans to reverse tendinopathy. Studies on PHT, PT, AT, shoulder, and elbow programs are all in the works.

Does anyone know if LC Labs is still open and shipping chemicals? I can't get a hold of anyone and just need to know if we need to look elsewhere. Thanks.

This can likely be minimized by proper exercise, but whether exercise can overcome this global change to tendons, ligaments, and bones is still an open question. Also, this could be one reason why it is hard for obese individuals to start, and stick with, an exercise program.

In this one, we show that saturated fatty acids decrease collagen synthesis and make tendons, ligaments, and bone weaker. This means that people who are overweight or eat high saturated fat diets may find that their connective tissues get weaker.
