Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene (2017)
Journal Article
Scudder, C. J., Niessen, S. J. M., Catchpole, B., Fowkes, R. C., Church, D. B., & Forcada, Y. (2017). Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene. Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 59, 134-139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.domaniend.2016.11.005

Acromegaly in humans is usually sporadic, however up to 20% of familial isolated pituitary adenomas are caused by germline sequence variants of the aryl-hydrocarbon-receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene. Feline acromegaly has similarities to human... Read More about Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene.

Antibody responses to avian influenza viruses in wild birds broaden with age (2016)
Journal Article
Hill, S. C., Manvell, R. J., Schulenburg, B., Shell, W., Wikramaratna, P. S., Perrins, C., Sheldon, B. C., Brown, I. H., & Pybus, O. G. (2016). Antibody responses to avian influenza viruses in wild birds broaden with age. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.2159

For viruses such as avian influenza, immunity within a host population can drive the emergence of new strains by selecting for viruses with novel antigens that avoid immune recognition. The accumulation of acquired immunity with age is hypothesized t... Read More about Antibody responses to avian influenza viruses in wild birds broaden with age.
