Journal Article
Holder, A. L., Jones, G., Soutter, F., Palmer, D. B., Aspinall, R., & Catchpole, B. (2018). Polymorphisms in the canine IL7R 3 ' UTR are associated with thymic output in Labrador retriever dogs and influence post-transcriptional regulation by microRNA 185. Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 81, 244-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dci.2017.12.008

Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and its receptor (IL-7R) are essential for T cell development in the thymus, and changes in the IL-7/IL-7R pathway have been implicated in age-associated thymic involution which results in a reduction of naïve T cell output. The... Read More about Polymorphisms in the canine IL7R 3 ' UTR are associated with thymic output in Labrador retriever dogs and influence post-transcriptional regulation by microRNA 185.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to bone fragility and predisposes to increased risk of fracture, poor bone healing and other skeletal complications. In addition, some anti-diabetic therapies for T2DM can have notable detrimental skeletal effect... Read More about Novel skeletal effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

Modulation of foraging strategy in response to distinct prey items and their scents in the aquatic frog Xenopus longipes (Anura: Pipidae) (2018)
Journal Article
Michaels, C. J., Das, S., Chang, Y. M., & Tapley, B. (2018). Modulation of foraging strategy in response to distinct prey items and their scents in the aquatic frog Xenopus longipes (Anura: Pipidae)

Aquatic predators must forage for prey in a complex three-dimensional environment where the availability of different prey types with different spatial niches may vary. Aquatic predators have evolved a number of ways in which they may respond to this...

Hip joint articular soft tissues of non-dinosaurian Dinosauromorpha and early Dinosauria: evolutionary and biomechanical implications for Saurischia (2018)
Journal Article
Tsai, H. P., Middleton, K. M., Hutchinson, J. R., & Holliday, C. M. (2018). Hip joint articular soft tissues of non-dinosaurian Dinosauromorpha and early Dinosauria: evolutionary and biomechanical implications for Saurischia. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 38(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/02724634.2017.1427593

Dinosauromorphs evolved a wide diversity of hind limb skeletal morphologies, suggesting highly divergent articular soft tissue anatomies. However, poor preservation of articular soft tissues in fossils has hampered any follow-on functional inferences...

Many mammals are well adapted to surviving in extremely cold environments. These species have likely accumulated genetic changes that help them efficiently cope with low temperatures. It is not known whether the same genes related to cold adaptation...

Osteoclasts are defined as cells capable of excavating 3-dimensional resorption pits in bone and other mineralised tissues. They are derived from the differentiation/fusion of promonocytic precursors, and are usually large, multinucleated cells. In c... Read More about Metabolic properties of the osteoclast.
