Intravital Imaging of Immune Responses in the Cancer Microenvironment
ABSTRACT Background To date, many types of immune cells have been identified, but their precise role in cancer immunity remains unclear. Understanding the immune responses involved in cancer and the cancer microenvironment is becoming increasingly important for elucidating disease mechanisms.

Narrowing the wingless-2 mutation to a 227 kb candidate region on chicken chromosome 12. [PDF]
Wingless-2 (wg-2) is an autosomal recessive mutation in chicken that results in an embryonic lethal condition. Affected individuals exhibit a multisystem syndrome characterized by absent wings, truncated legs, and craniofacial, kidney, and feather ...

Molecular characteristics of avian leukosis viruses isolated from indigenous chicken breeds in China
To assess the status of avian leukosis virus (ALV) infection in indigenous chicken breeds in China, 121 plasma samples collected from various indigenous chicken breeds were tested for the presence of ALV from 2015 to 2016.

The ageing virus hypothesis: Epigenetic ageing beyond the Tree of Life
Viruses would age when the epigenetic signals they need to carry out their life cycle are degraded. Given the abundance and age of viruses, epigenetic aging of viruses would extend theories on the evolution of aging beyond cellular organisms, and encourage new models of viral dynamics and new anti‐viral therapies.

Prolactin: A Key Immunoregulator in Viral Infections and Autoimmune Diseases
Prolactin (PRL) is secreted by various cells in the anterior pituitary gland, mammary glands, placenta, uterus, ovaries, testes, skin, adipose tissue, endothelial cells, immune system, and central nervous system. The expression and secretion of PRL are influenced by several factors such as suckling, thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH), cytokines ...

Outbreak of myelocytomatosis caused by mutational avian leukosis virus subgroup J in China, 2018
Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) was isolated in meat-type breeder chickens for the first time in 1988 in the United Kingdom. Due to the application of an eradication program, there were fewer reports related to myelocytomatosis or ALV-J in China ...

Pathology and Molecular Diagnosis of Marek’s Disease Virus in Chickens in Nigeria
Marek’s disease caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) serotype 1 is an economically important neoplastic disease of poultry. Diagnosis of this disease is usually based on clinical signs, postmortem lesions, and diagnostic tests like cytology, histopathology, and molecular‐based methods.

Rodent models of tumours of the central nervous system
We describe the evolution of experimental systems, illustrated here in a timeline to show changing popularity over time. Starting with chemical and viral carcinogenesis, systems then developed into increasingly sophisticated genetically modified animal models.
