Dystonia and paroxysmal dyskinesias: under-recognized movement disorders in domestic animals? A comparison with human dystonia/paroxysmal dyskinesias.
Journal Article
Richter, A., Hamann, M., Wissel, J., & Volk, H. A. (in press). Dystonia and paroxysmal dyskinesias: under-recognized movement disorders in domestic animals? A comparison with human dystonia/paroxysmal dyskinesias. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2015.00065

Dystonia is defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing twisting, often repetitive movements, and postures. Paroxysmal dyskinesias are episodic movement disorders encompassing... Read More about Dystonia and paroxysmal dyskinesias: under-recognized movement disorders in domestic animals?

Severity of Mitral Valve Degeneration Is Associated with Chromosome 15 Loci in Whippet Dogs
Journal Article
Stern, J. A., Hsue, W., Song, K., Ontiveros, E. S., Fuentes, V. L., & Stepien, R. L. (in press). Severity of Mitral Valve Degeneration Is Associated with Chromosome 15 Loci in Whippet Dogs. PLoS ONE, 10(10), e0141234. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0141234

Mitral valve degeneration (MVD) is the most common form of heart disease in dogs, frequently leading to left-sided congestive heart failure and cardiac mortality. Although breed-specific disease characteristics and overrepresentation point towards a... Read More about Severity of Mitral Valve Degeneration Is Associated with Chromosome 15 Loci in Whippet Dogs.

THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DYSTROPHIN FOLLOWING ANTISENSE BASED EXON-SKIPPING IN THE MDX MOUSE
Journal Article
Muses, S., Godfrey, C., McClorey, G., Wells, K. E., Coursindel, T., Terry, R. L., …Wells, D. J. (in press). THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DYSTROPHIN FOLLOWING ANTISENSE BASED EXON-SKIPPING IN THE MDX MOUSE. Neuromuscular Disorders, 25, S312-S313. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nmd.2015.06.450

We examined the effects on muscle physiology of restoring different levels of dystrophin in mdx mice with established dystrophic pathophysiology (12 weeks and older). Dystrophin expression was induced very efficiently using cell penetrating peptides...
