Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds (2015)
Journal Article
Regnault, S., Pitsillides, A. A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2015). Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.711

The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles. Despite appreciable interest in the specialized anatomy and locomotion of p...

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.

Renal fibrosis in feline chronic kidney disease: known mediators and mechanisms of injury (2015)
Journal Article
Lawson, J. S., Elliott, J., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., Syme, H. M., & Jepson, R. E. (2015). Renal fibrosis in feline chronic kidney disease: known mediators and mechanisms of injury. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2014.10.009

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common medical condition of ageing cats. In most cases the underlying aetiology is unknown, but the most frequently reported pathological diagnosis is renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Renal fibrosis, characterised...
