Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Whakatika?: Ko ngā whakamātautau tōmua i mahia ki ngā pūtau mate pukupuku (pēnei i te mea i whakaahuatia) i whakaatu ko ngā reanga ora i roto i ngā kiore i piki ake i te 50 ōrau. He tikanga hou e whai hua ana ki te whakaora i te mate pukupuku kua kitea e nga kaiputaiao. Ka whakamahia e ia te kaha o te pūnaha ārai mate o te tinana, ā, ka whāia ki ngā pukupuku. Kua whakaaturia e ngā whakamātautau tuatahi ka taea e te tikanga hou te huri i te tiaki mate pukupuku. Kua kitea e ngā kaipūtaiao tētahi pūnaha hei whakaoho i te pūnaha ārai mate o te tinana ki te mōhio, ki te whakaeke, ki te whakamate hoki i ngā pūtau mate pukupuku i roto i ngā pukupuku o te kōhauhau, te kiri me te puku. I kitea e te rōpū i whakahaere i te rangahau ko ngā whakamātautau tōmua <unk>he tino whakaroa<unk> i te tipu o te pukupuku i roto i ngā kiore. I piki ake te nui o te ora i te 50 ōrau, e ai ki ngā hua i tāngia ki te niupepa Nature inanahi. I tēnei wā kei te kimi ngā kaipūtaiao i ngā tūroro e mate ana i te mate pukupuku kiri mō te whakamātautau haumanu tuatahi ki te tangata. I kii nga tohunga o Ingarangi koinei te tohu tino whakaari i tenei wa ka whai hua pea nga maimoatanga "takitahi" ki te whakaora i nga momo mate pukupuku maha. Tae noa mai ki tēnei wā, ko te nuinga o ngā rongoā mate pukupuku kua hangaia kia rite ki te momo pukupuku e whakaekea ana e rātau - he huarahi whānui e kōwhiria ai te momo rongoā e ai ki te wāhanga o te tinana kei reira te pukupuku. Engari ko te arotahi hou ki te maimoatanga mate pukupuku whaiaro, ko te whai i te pūnaha ārai mate o ia tangata, me te whakanui i a ia i runga i te hanganga iranga o te pukupuku. Ka whakarato pea te tikanga whakahirahira i tētahi mahere whānui mō ngā kano ārai mate ka taea te aro atu ki ngā momo mate pukupuku tangata. Ka taea hoki e ia te raruraru o te mate pukupuku e whakaatu ana i tētahi whāinga e neke haere ana, e huri haere ana hei karo i te pūnaha ārai mate. I pōpakihia e ngā kaipūtaiao i te pō whakamutunga te whakatutukitanga o te kapa Tiamana. Ka mea a Pōrero Kevin Harrington, mai i te Institute of Cancer Research, London: <unk>Ko tēnei rangahau te tohu tuatahi ka taea pea e tātou te whakaputa i ngā kano ārai mate takitahi e hāngai ana ki ngā momo rerekē i roto i te pukupuku o te tūroro. Ngā whakamua: Ko te hunga e mate ana ki te mate pukupuku kiri...
Kua whakawhanakehia e tētahi rōpū Tiamana he tikanga hou e tuku ana i te 'tūnga takitahi' Ko ngā whakamātautau i mahia ki ngā pūtau mate pukupuku i roto i te puku, te kiri me ngā pukupuku tarutaru. Ko te ōwehenga ora i piki ake i te 50 ōrau i te wā o ngā whakamātautau kararehe. Ko ngā tūroro e mate ana i te mate pukupuku kiri kei te whakauruhia ināianei mō ngā whakamātautau tangata tuatahi.
