Estimating Overwintering Monarch Butterfly Populations Using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning (2019)
Journal Article
Hristov, N. I., Nikolaidis, D., Hubel, T. Y., & Allen, L. C. (2019). Estimating Overwintering Monarch Butterfly Populations Using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2019.00266

Concerns about the state of decline of the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have prompted their consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Data suggest a substantial decline (> 80%) in overwintering numbers for bot... Read More about Estimating Overwintering Monarch Butterfly Populations Using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning.

Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows (2019)
Journal Article
Tombacz, K., Peters, L. M., Chang, Y. M., Steele, M., Werling, D., & Gibson, A. J. (2019). Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 102(10), 9389-9395. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2019-16563

In periparturient dairy cows, immune suppression, resulting in decreased neutrophil numbers and function, leads to increased susceptibility to postpartum conditions such as mastitis, retained placenta, and metritis. Administration of polyethylene gly... Read More about Pegbovigrastim treatment in vivo does not affect granulocyte ability to migrate to endometrial cells and kill bacteria in vitro in healthy cows.

Energy turnover in mammalian skeletal muscle in contractions mimicking locomotion: effects of stimulus pattern on work, impulse and energetic cost and efficiency (2019)
Journal Article
Curtin, N. A., Woledge, R. C., West, T. G., Goodwin, D., Piercy, R. J., & Wilson, A. M. (2019). Energy turnover in mammalian skeletal muscle in contractions mimicking locomotion: effects of stimulus pattern on work, impulse and energetic cost and efficiency. Journal of Experimental Biology, 222, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.203877

Active muscle performs various mechanical functions during locomotion: work output during shortening, work absorption when resisting (but not preventing) lengthening, and impulse (force–time integral) whenever there is active force. The energetic cos...

What is the level of dystrophin expression required for effective therapy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy? (2019)
Journal Article
Wells, D. J. (2019). What is the level of dystrophin expression required for effective therapy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy?. Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility, 40(2), 141-150. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10974-019-09535-9

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked muscle wasting disease. The disease is due to mutations in the DMD gene that encodes for a large intracellular protein called dystrophin. Dystrophin plays a critical role in linking the internal c... Read More about What is the level of dystrophin expression required for effective therapy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy?.

Pregabalin for the treatment of syringomyelia-associated neuropathic pain in dogs: A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial (2019)
Journal Article
Sanchis-Mora, S., Chang, Y. M., Abeyesinghe, S. M., Fisher, A., Upton, N., Volk, H. A., & Pelligand, L. (2019). Pregabalin for the treatment of syringomyelia-associated neuropathic pain in dogs: A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-masked clinical trial. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2019.06.006

Pregabalin is the first-line treatment for neuropathic pain (NeP) in humans. Dogs with Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia (CM/SM) associated with NeP could benefit from pregabalin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pregaba...

Regulation of the bone vascular network is sexually dimorphic (2019)
Journal Article
Goring, A., Sharma, A., Javaheri, B., Smith, R. C., Kanczler, J. M., Boyde, A., …Clarkin, C. E. (2019). Regulation of the bone vascular network is sexually dimorphic. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.3825

Osteoblast (OB) lineage cells are an important source of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is critical for bone growth and repair. During bone development, pubertal differences in males and females exist, but little is known about whet... Read More about Regulation of the bone vascular network is sexually dimorphic.

Urinary peptidome analyses for the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in dogs (2019)
Journal Article
Pelander, L., Brunchault, V., Buffin-Meyer, B., Klein, J., Breuil, B., Zürbig, P., …Ljungvall, I. (2019). Urinary peptidome analyses for the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in dogs. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2019.05.010

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is clinically important in canine medicine. Current diagnostic tools lack sensitivity for detection of subclinical CKD. The aim of the present study was to evaluate urinary peptidome analysis for diagnosis of CKD in dogs....

Differing calcification processes in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts (2019)
Journal Article
Patel, J. J., Bourne, L. E., Davies, B. K., Arnett, T. R., MacRae, V. E., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Orriss, I. R. (2019). Differing calcification processes in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts. Experimental Cell Research, 380(1), 100-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2019.04.020

Arterial medial calcification (AMC) is the deposition of calcium phosphate mineral, often as hydroxyapatite, in the medial layer of the arteries. AMC shares some similarities to skeletal mineralisation and has been associated with the transdifferenti...
