Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting (2016)
Journal Article
Knowles, E. J., Harris, P. A., Elliott, J., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2016). Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting. Equine Veterinary Journal, 49, 519-524. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12607

Background It is recommended that the Oral Sugar Test (OST) for insulin dysregulation (ID) is performed after an overnight fast but fasting is impractical in ponies kept solely at pasture. There are few data on OST repeatability and reliability in p... Read More about Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting.

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? (2016)
Journal Article
Marei, W. F. A., Raheem, K. A., Salavati, M., Tremaine, T., Khalid, M., & Fouladi-Nashta, A. A. (2016). Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development?. Theriogenology, 86(4), 940-948. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.03.017

Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with...

Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse (2016)
Journal Article
Aleksic, D., Blaschke, L., Missbach, S., Hänske, J., Weiss, W., Handler, J., …Kammerer, R. (2016). Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse. Reproduction, 152, 171-184. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-16-0236

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family that are secreted by trophoblast cells. PSGs may modulate immune, angiogenic and platelet responses during pregnancy. Until now... Read More about Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse.

Quantitative Expression and Co-Localization of Wnt Signalling Related Proteins in Feline Squamous Cell Carcinoma (2016)
Journal Article
Giuliano, A., Swift, R., Arthurs, C., Marote, G., Abramo, F., McKay, J., …Ahmed, A. (2016). Quantitative Expression and Co-Localization of Wnt Signalling Related Proteins in Feline Squamous Cell Carcinoma. PLoS ONE, 11(8), e0161103. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161103

Feline oral squamous cell carcinoma (FOSCC) is an aggressive neoplasm in cats. Little is known about the possible molecular mechanisms that may be involved in the initiation, maintenance and progression of FOSCC. Wnt signalling is critical in develop...

Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies (2016)
Journal Article
Bomphrey, R. J., Nakata, T., Henningsson, P., & Lin, H. (2016). Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371(1704), 20150389. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0389

This work is a synthesis of our current understanding of the mechanics, aerodynamics and visually mediated control of dragonfly and damselfly flight, with the addition of new experimental and computational data in several key areas. These are: the di... Read More about Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies.

Transgenic Rescue of the LARGEmyd Mouse: A LARGE Therapeutic Window? (2016)
Journal Article
Hildyard, J. C. W., Lacey, E., Booler, H., Hopkinson, M., Wells, D. J., & Brown, S. C. (2016). Transgenic Rescue of the LARGEmyd Mouse: A LARGE Therapeutic Window?. PLoS ONE, 11(7), e0159853. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0159853

LARGE is a glycosyltransferase involved in glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG). Absence of this protein in the LARGEmyd mouse results in α-DG hypoglycosylation, and is associated with central nervous system abnormalities and progressive muscular d...

Physiological, aerodynamic and geometric constraints of flapping account for bird gaits, and bounding and flap-gliding flight strategies (2016)
Journal Article
Usherwood, J. R. (2016). Physiological, aerodynamic and geometric constraints of flapping account for bird gaits, and bounding and flap-gliding flight strategies. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 408, 42-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2016.07.003

Aerodynamically economical flight is steady and level. The high-amplitude flapping and bounding flight style of many small birds departs considerably from any aerodynamic or purely mechanical optimum. Further, many large birds adopt a flap-glide flig...
