Automatic milking systems (AMS) are a low-labour alternative to conventional parlours, with previous studies demonstrating that cows vary in their ability to cope with the change to AMS. Cortisol expression can be combined with other measures to asse...

Osteoarthritis-related nociceptive behaviour following mechanical joint loading correlates with cartilage damage (2020)
Journal Article
Ter Heegde, F., Luiz, A. P., Santana-Varela, S., Magnusdottir, R., Hopkinson, M., Chang, Y. M., …Chenu, C. (2020). Osteoarthritis-related nociceptive behaviour following mechanical joint loading correlates with cartilage damage. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 28(3), 383-395. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2019.12.004

In osteoarthritis (OA), the pain-structure relationship remains complex and poorly understood. Here, we used the mechanical joint loading (MJL) model of OA to investigate both knee pathology and nociceptive behaviour.
