CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for controlling immune responses and preventing autoimmunity. Their development requires regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs). To understand miRNA function in Treg development, we searche... Read More about MicroRNA-15b/16 Enhances the Induction of Regulatory T Cells by Regulating the Expression of Rictor and mTOR.

Administration of insulin for treatment of diabetes mellitus in dogs can stimulate an immune response, with a proportion of animals developing anti-insulin antibodies (AIA). For an IgG antibody response to occur, this would require B cell presentatio...

To date there is no evidence-based data for efficacious treatment of neuropathic pain in dogs with Chiari-like malformation (CM) and syringomyelia (SM). The objective of this prospective cross-over study was to compare the effect of gabapentin versus...

Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development (2015)
Journal Article
El-Magd, M. A., Allen, S. P., McGonnell, I. M., Mansour, A. A., Otto, A., & Patel, K. (2015). Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development. Gene, 554(1), 87-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gene.2014.10.028

The chick early B-cell factor 1 (cEbf1) is a member of EBF family of helix loop helix transcription factors. Recently, we have proved that cEbf1 expression in feather is regulated by Shh. It is therefore possible that the somitic expression of cEbf1... Read More about Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development.
