note on the University of Georgia, School of Vet Med's page on Dr. Jaroslava
Halper. She's head of the Soft Tissue Pathology Department there, and shes
directed the research into
DSLD.
"Most recently Dr. Halper has been
studying multiple aspects otendon repair and
physiology. Her laboratory has been analyzing growth
and excercise-induced changes in proteoglycan composition of the avian tendon,
and has developed several innovative methods aimed at detection of carbohydrate
chains attached to proteoglycans. She has characterized a chronic tendon
disorder in horses (so called degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis) as a
systemic disease of connective tissues (better named asequine systemic
proteoglycan accumulation)."
