hopefully the link works,

I wrote this for my year 13 extended project,

Abstract
This paper focuses specifically on equine tendon injury and explains the composition and formation of equine tendon; linking to the science of stem cell therapy following trauma. This paper describes how stem cells are harvested and how the stem cells provide a regenerative treatment. The paper will also explore the current practise of stem cell therapy and the potential of stem cell therapy for equine tendon injury in the future. During the discussion of the topic I shall be reviewing studies and statistics from traditional treatment and stem cell therapy, contrasting and comparing the findings and finally concluding on whether stem cell therapy is an effective and worthwhile treatment for equine tendon injury.

For my presentation I also went the extra mile and made a video to introduce it if you want to take a look

I really enjoyed doing it, it was a lot of hard work though! I spoke to the vets about it on my work experience and they were a very suprised I'd taken on such a difficult topic !
