Whole genome resequencing reveals an association of ABCC4 variants with preaxial polydactyly in pigs

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital limb dysplasia in many animal species. Although preaxial polydactyly (PPD) has been comprehensively studied in humans as a common abnormality, the genetic variations in other animal species have

A prospective follow up of age related changes in the subchondral bone density of the talus of healthy Labrador Retrievers

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background During growth, the skeletal structures adapt to the increased loading conditions and mature to a fully-grown skeleton. Subchondral bone density reflects the effect of long-term joint loading and it is expected to change over time.

Neurons within the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus encode for the kinematic parameters of the whisker pad macrovibrissae

Physiological Reports, 2017
It has been recently shown in rats that spontaneous movements of whisker pad macrovibrissae elicited evoked responses in the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (Me5). In the present study, electrophysiological and neuroanatomical experiments were performed
