The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles (2016)
Journal Article
Cuff, A. R., Sparkes, E. L., Randau, M., Pierce, S. E., Kitchener, A. C., Goswami, A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2016). The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles. Journal of Anatomy, 229(1), 128-141. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12477

The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb postur...

Developmental Origin of Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Determines Response to Demyelination and Susceptibility to Age-Associated Functional Decline (2016)
Journal Article
Crawford, A. H., Tripathi, R. B., Richardson, W. D., & Franklin, R. J. M. (2016). Developmental Origin of Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Determines Response to Demyelination and Susceptibility to Age-Associated Functional Decline. Cell Reports, 15(4), 761-773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2016.03.069

Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) arise from distinct ventral and dorsal domains within the ventricular germinal zones of the embryonic CNS. The functional significance, if any, of these different populations is not known. Using dual-color reporter m...

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article
Newsome, R., Green, M. J., Bell, N. J., Chagunda, C. S., Mason, C. S., Rutland, C. S., Sturrock, C. J., Whay, H. R., & Huxley, J. N. (2016). Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(6), 4512-4525. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10202

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Effect of short-term probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 dietary supplementation in overweight and obese cats without comorbidities (2016)
Journal Article
Kathrani, A., Larsen, J. A., Kass, P. H., & Fascetti, A. J. (2016). Effect of short-term probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 dietary supplementation in overweight and obese cats without comorbidities. Veterinary Record Open, 3(1), e000164. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreco-2015-000164

Obesity in cats is associated with metabolic abnormalities and increased susceptibility to diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Studies in mouse models and human beings have shown that probiotics can reduce food intake, promote weight loss and improve...

The Structure of the Transcriptional Repressor KstR in Complex with CoA Thioester Cholesterol Metabolites Sheds Light on the Regulation of Cholesterol Catabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291(14), 7256-7266. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M115.707760

Cholesterol can be a major carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection, both at an early stage in the macrophage phagosome and later within the necrotic granuloma. KstR is a highly conserved TetR family transcriptional repressor tha...

Temporal and phylogenetic evolution of the sauropod dinosaur body plan (2016)
Journal Article
Bates, K. T., Mannion, P. D., Falkingham, P. L., Brusatte, S. L., Hutchinson, J. R., Otero, A., Sellers, W. I., Sullivan, C., Stevens, K. A., & Allen, V. R. (2016). Temporal and phylogenetic evolution of the sauropod dinosaur body plan. Royal Society Open Science, 3(3), 150636. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150636

The colossal size and body plan of sauropod dinosaurs are unparalleled in terrestrial vertebrates. However, to date, there have been only limited attempts to examine temporal and phylogenetic patterns in the sauropod bauplan. Here, we combine three-d...

Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs (2016)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., Weldon McNutt, J., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs. Nature Communications, 7, 11033. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11033

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are described as highly collaborative endurance pursuit hunters based on observations derived primarily from the grass plains of East Africa. However, the remaining population of this endangered species mainly occupi... Read More about Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs.
