Journal Article
Seeker, L. A., Ilska, J. J., Psifidi, A., Wilbourn, R., Underwood, S., Fairlie, J., Holland, R., Froy, H., Salvo-Chirnside, E., Bagnall, A., Whitelaw, C., Coffey, M., Nussey, D., & Banos, G. (2018). Bovine telomere dynamics and the association between telomere length and productive lifespan. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-31185-z

Average telomere length (TL) in blood cells has been shown to decline with age in a range of vertebrate species, and there is evidence that TL is a heritable trait associated with late-life health and mortality in humans. In non-human mammals, few st... Read More about Bovine telomere dynamics and the association between telomere length and productive lifespan.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in both geriatric cats and aging humans, and is pathologically characterised by chronic tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis in both species. Cats with CKD may represent a spontaneously occurring, non-ro...

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 70, 76-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2018.08.002

Although often discussed in practice, there is a paucity of scientific evidence as to the effect of different shoes on equine locomotion on soft ground, especially in hind limbs. Our objectives were to determine the effect of different shoeing condit...
