Mental health of veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses: A scoping review (2024)
Journal Article
Cardwell, J., King, N., Lewis, E. G., Kinnison, T., Langridge, A., Civai, C., …Cardwell, J. M. (2024). Mental health of veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses: A scoping review. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.4091

Abstract Background Research has shown that veterinarians around the world are at high risk of mental health problems, but far less research has examined the mental health of veterinary nurses (VNs) and student veterinary nurses (SVNs). This scopin... Read More about Mental health of veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses: A scoping review.

Description and clinical relevance of the variable conformation of canine spinal arachnoid diverticula (2024)
Journal Article
De Frias, J., De Decker, S., De Stefani, A., & Llabres-Diaz, F. (2024). Description and clinical relevance of the variable conformation of canine spinal arachnoid diverticula. Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.13365

The conformation of spinal arachnoid diverticula (SAD) and their clinical implications are poorly characterized in dogs. This retrospective cross-sectional study describes different SAD conformations in dogs and aims to identify if there is an associ...

Expression of semaphorin-3A in the joint and role in osteoarthritis (2024)
Journal Article
Li, X., Martinez-Ramos, S., Heedge, F., Pitsillides, A., Bou-Gharios, G., Poulet, B., & Chenu, C. (2024). Expression of semaphorin-3A in the joint and role in osteoarthritis. Cell Biochemistry and Function, 42(3), https://doi.org/10.1002/cbf.4012

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterised by the deterioration of cartilage in the joints and pain. We hypothesise that semaphorin-3A (sema-3A), a chemorepellent for sensory nerves, plays a role in joint degradation and pain. We used the mechanical joint...

Single-cell profiling reveals transcriptome dynamics during bovine oocyte growth (2024)
Journal Article
Latorraca, L., Galvao, A., Rabaglino, M., D'Augero, J., Kelsey, G., & Fair, T. (2024). Single-cell profiling reveals transcriptome dynamics during bovine oocyte growth. BMC Genomics, 25(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-024-10234-0

Background Mammalian follicle development is characterized by extensive changes in morphology, endocrine responsiveness, and function, providing the optimum environment for oocyte growth, development, and resumption of meiosis. In cattle, the first s... Read More about Single-cell profiling reveals transcriptome dynamics during bovine oocyte growth.
