CXCR3-mediated natural killer cell infiltration exacerbates white matter injury after intracerebral haemorrhage (2025)
Journal Article
Ng, A., Zhang, C., Lam, T., Kiang, K., Ng, V., Zhu, Z., Liu, J., Tu, W., Tang, W., Chau, K., Man, K., & Leung, G. (2025). CXCR3-mediated natural killer cell infiltration exacerbates white matter injury after intracerebral haemorrhage. Brain, https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awaf108

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), a subtype of stroke, carries a grim prognosis. The inflammatory response during the early phase of ICH is a major perpetuator of neurological damage. Recent clinical studies suggest possible participation of the CXC c...

Feline diffuse iris melanoma (FDIM) is the most common primary ocular tumour in cats, with metastatic disease occurring in 19-63% of patients. Greater intraocular invasion correlates with increased mortality. No effective therapeutics exist for metas...

Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population (2025)
Journal Article
McGlennon, A., Verheyen, K., Newton, J., van Tonder, A., Wilson, H., Parkhill, J., de Brauwere, N., Frosth, S., & Waller, A. (2025). Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14558

Background: Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with similar to 300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub-clinically infected long-term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating...
