Conformational eyelid disorders in dogs under primary veterinary care in the UK - Epidemiology and clinical management (2025)
Journal Article
O'Neill, D., Mustikka, M. P., Brodbelt, D. C., Church, D. B., & Vaattovaara, V. (2025). Conformational eyelid disorders in dogs under primary veterinary care in the UK - Epidemiology and clinical management. Herpetological Conservation and Biology, 20(6), e0326526. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0326526

Introduction Natural eyelid conformation is essential for normal function and health of the ocular surface. However, many modern dog types are deliberately bred for abnormal eyelid conformation associated with severe health and welfare issues. This s...

Repeated Low‐Level Inflammatory Challenge Leads to Alterations in the TNF‐CXCL10 Signalling Pathway in Mouse Cerebral Endothelial Cells In Vitro (2025)
Journal Article
Ritson, M., Xia, D., Wheeler‐Jones, C., & Stolp, H. B. (2025). Repeated Low‐Level Inflammatory Challenge Leads to Alterations in the TNF‐CXCL10 Signalling Pathway in Mouse Cerebral Endothelial Cells In Vitro. Journal of Neurochemistry, 169(6), e70130. https://doi.org/10.1111/jnc.70130

The mechanism by which chronic systemic inflammation contributes to cerebral endothelial dysfunction and neurological disorders is unclear, although endothelial inflammatory signalling is considered a cornerstone of this process. Here, we have perfor... Read More about Repeated Low‐Level Inflammatory Challenge Leads to Alterations in the TNF‐CXCL10 Signalling Pathway in Mouse Cerebral Endothelial Cells In Vitro.
