Attenuation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunt Reduces Inflammation in Dogs (2015)
Journal Article
Tivers, M. S., Handel, I., Gow, A. G., Lipscomb, V. J., Jalan, R., & Mellanby, R. J. (2015). Attenuation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunt Reduces Inflammation in Dogs. PLoS ONE, 10(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0117557

Liver disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. One of the most significant complications in patients with liver disease is the development of neurological disturbances, termed hepatic encephalopathy. The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalop...

Elevated arousal at time of decision-making is not the arbiter of risk avoidance in chickens (2015)
Journal Article
Davies, A. C., Radford, A. N., Pettersson, I. C., Yang, F. P., & Nicol, C. J. (2015). Elevated arousal at time of decision-making is not the arbiter of risk avoidance in chickens. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08200

The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that humans recall previously experienced physiological responses to aid decision-making under uncertainty. However, little is known about the mechanisms used by non-human animals to integrate risk perception wi...

Matching times of leading and following suggest cooperation through direct reciprocity during V-formation flight in ibis (2015)
Journal Article
Voelkl, B., Portugal, S. J., Unsoeld, M., Usherwood, J. R., Wilson, A. M., & Fritz, J. (2015). Matching times of leading and following suggest cooperation through direct reciprocity during V-formation flight in ibis. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1413589112

One conspicuous feature of several larger bird species is their annual migration in V-shaped or echelon formation. When birds are flying in these formations, energy savings can be achieved by using the aerodynamic up-wash produced by the preceding bi...

Essential versus accessory aspects of cell death: recommendations of the NCCD 2015 (2015)
Journal Article
Galluzzi, L., Bravo-San Pedro, J. M., Vitale, I., Aaronson, S. A., Abrams, J. M., Adam, D., Alnemri, E. S., Altucci, L., Andrews, D. W., Annicchiarico-Petruzzelli, M., Baehrecke, E. H., Bazan, N. G., Bertrand, M. J., Bianchi, K., Blagosklonny, M. V., Blomgren, K., Borner, C., Bredesen, D. E., Brenner, C., Campanella, M., …Kroemer, G. (2015). Essential versus accessory aspects of cell death: recommendations of the NCCD 2015. Cell Death and Differentiation, 22(1), 58-57. https://doi.org/10.1038/cdd.2014.137

Cells exposed to extreme physicochemical or mechanical stimuli die in an uncontrollable manner, as a result of their immediate structural breakdown. Such an unavoidable variant of cellular demise is generally referred to as ‘accidental cell death’ (A...

Comparison of eleven methods for genomic DNA extraction suitable for large-scale whole-genome genotyping and long-term DNA banking using blood samples (2015)
Journal Article
Psifidi, A., Dovas, C. I., Bramis, G., Lazou, T., Russel, C. L., Arsenos, G., & Banos, G. (2015). Comparison of eleven methods for genomic DNA extraction suitable for large-scale whole-genome genotyping and long-term DNA banking using blood samples. PLoS ONE, 10(1), e0115960. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0115960

Over the recent years, next generation sequencing and microarray technologies have revolutionized scientific research with their applications to high-throughput analysis of biological systems. Isolation of high quantities of pure, intact, double stra...
