Embryonic exposures to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been linked preterm birth, neural tube closure defects, abnormal enteric innervation, and craniofacial malformations, potentially due disrupted or crest (NC) cell development. Naproxen (NPX), a common drug (NSAID) used relieve pain inflammation, exerts its effects through non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition. Our lab has identified that the (COX-1 COX-2) isoenzymes are expressed during early stages of...
Abstract Vertebrate development is regulated by several complex well-characterized morphogen signaling pathways, transcription factors, and structural proteins, but less known about the enzymatic pathways that regulate early development. We have identified factors from inflammation-mediating cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway are expressed at stages of in avian embryos. Using Gallus gallus (chicken) as a research model, we characterized spatiotemporal expression subset genes proteins COX during...
The domestic cat (Felis catus) is a valued companion animal and model for virally induced cancers immunodeficiencies. However, species-specific limitations such as scarcity of immune cell markers constrain our ability to resolve subsets at sufficient detail. goal this study was characterize circulating feline T cells other leukocytes based on their transcriptomic landscape T-cell receptor repertoire using single RNA-sequencing.

Introduction The domestic cat (Felis catus) is a valued companion animal and model for virally induced cancers immunodeficiencies. However, species-specific limitations such as scarcity of immune cell markers constrain our ability to resolve subsets at sufficient detail. goal this study was characterize circulating feline T cells other leukocytes based on their transcriptomic landscape T-cell receptor repertoire using single RNA-sequencing. Methods Peripheral blood from 4 healthy cats...
