Improving outcomes of myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs
Journal Article
Boswood, A. (2018). Improving outcomes of myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs. In Practice, 40(1), 12-15. https://doi.org/10.1136/inp.k915

Now that treatment has been shown to slow the onset of clinical signs of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), recommendations are focusing on diagnosing the condition before clinical signs manifest so that dogs can be maintained free of signs for...

Determination of qPCR Reference Genes Suitable for Normalizing Gene Expression in a Canine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Journal Article
Hildyard, J. C. W., Taylor-Brown, F. E., Massey, C., Wells, D. J., & Piercy, R. J. (in press). Determination of qPCR Reference Genes Suitable for Normalizing Gene Expression in a Canine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 5(2), 177-191. https://doi.org/10.3233/JND-170267

Background:Dogs with dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy are valuable models of the equivalent human disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): unlike the mdx mouse, these animals present a disease severity and progression that closely matches t...

In the Eye of the Beholder: Owner Preferences for Variations in Cats’ Appearances with Specific Focus on Skull Morphology
Journal Article
Farnworth, M. J., Packer, R. M. A., Sordo, L., Chen, R., Caney, S. M. A., & Gunn-Moore, D. A. (in press). In the Eye of the Beholder: Owner Preferences for Variations in Cats’ Appearances with Specific Focus on Skull Morphology. Animals, 8(2), 30. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani8020030

Changes in the popularity of cat breeds are largely driven by human perceptions of, and selection for, phenotypic traits including skull morphology. The popularity of breeds with altered skull shapes appears to be increasing, and owner preferences ar...
