Standard PK/PD concepts can be applied to determine a dosage regimen for a macrolide: the case of tulathromycin in the calf (2017)
Journal Article
Toutain, P. L., Potter, T. J., Pelligand, L., Lacroix, M., Illambas, J., & Lees, P. (2017). Standard PK/PD concepts can be applied to determine a dosage regimen for a macrolide: the case of tulathromycin in the calf. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 40(1), 16-27. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.12333

The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tulathromycin, administered to calves subcutaneously at the dosage of 2.5 mg/kg, was established in serum, inflamed (exudate), and noninflamed (transudate) fluids in a tissue cage model. The PK profile of tulathrom... Read More about Standard PK/PD concepts can be applied to determine a dosage regimen for a macrolide: the case of tulathromycin in the calf.

Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene (2017)
Journal Article

Acromegaly in humans is usually sporadic, however up to 20% of familial isolated pituitary adenomas are caused by germline sequence variants of the aryl-hydrocarbon-receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene. Feline acromegaly has similarities to human... Read More about Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene.

An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity (2016)
Journal Article
Holder, A., Mella, S., Palmer, D. B., Aspinall, R., & Catchpole, B. (2016). An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity. PLoS ONE, 11, e0165968. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165968

The age associated decline in immune function is preceded in mammals by a reduction in thymic output. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence of a link between immune competence and lifespan. One approach to determining thymic output is to quantify... Read More about An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity.

Chiari-like malformation/syringomyelia (CM/SM) in dogs describes a developmental disorder that can cause pain and reduced quality of life. This retrospective study aimed to report the period prevalence, clinical signs and risk factors for diagnosis o...

Modeling of Large Pharmacokinetic Data Using Nonlinear Mixed-Effects: A Paradigm Shift in Veterinary Pharmacology. A Case Study With Robenacoxib in Cats (2016)
Journal Article
Pelligand, L., Soubret, A., King, J. N., Elliott, J., & Mochel, J. P. (2016). Modeling of Large Pharmacokinetic Data Using Nonlinear Mixed-Effects: A Paradigm Shift in Veterinary Pharmacology. A Case Study With Robenacoxib in Cats. https://doi.org/10.1002/psp4.12141

The objective of this study was to model the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of robenacoxib in cats using a nonlinear mixed‐effects (NLME) approach, leveraging all available information collected from cats receiving robenacoxib s.c. and/or i.v.: 47 densely sa...

The ostrich (Struthio camelus) is widely appreciated as a fast and agile bipedal athlete, and is a useful comparative bipedal model for human locomotion. Here, we used GPS-IMU sensors to measure naturally selected gait dynamics of ostriches roaming f...

Misfolded α-synuclein is a key factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, knowledge about a physiological role for the native, unfolded α-synuclein is limited. Using brains of mice lacking α-, β-, and γ-synuclein, we report that... Read More about Monomeric alpha-synuclein exerts a physiological role in brain ATP synthase.
