Background Hepatic lipidosis is increasing in incidence in the Western world, with cats being particularly sensitive. When cats stop eating and start utilizing their fat reserves, free fatty acids (FFAs) increase in blood, causing an accumulation of ...

Vascular Gene Expression: A Hypothesis
The phloem is the conduit through which photoassimilates are distributed from autotrophic to heterotrophic tissues and is involved in the distribution of signaling molecules that coordinate plant growth and responses to the environment.

Sieve Elements and Companion Cells—Traffic Control Centers of the Phloem [PDF]
Of all the intricate cell–cell interactions in nature, those between the sieve element (SE) and its companion cell (CC) rank among the most complex and mysterious. Mature SEs are enucleate and retain only a highly degenerate cytoplasm, yet they can remain viable and functional for decades ([

Phloem development in nematode-induced feeding sites: The implications of auxin and cytokinin
Sedentary plant parasitic nematodes such as root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes induce giant cells or syncytia, respectively, in their host plant’s roots.

Annuloaortic ectasia in a dog: long-term follow-up and immunofluorescent study
A 4 month-old, 14.8 kg, male Newfoundland dog was presented for cardiovascular evaluation following detection of a heart murmur. Echocardiography revealed enlargement of the sinuses of Valsalva and marked, diffuse dilation of the ascending aorta ...

Gene Expression Profiling of Early Intervertebral Disk Degeneration
Introduction Early degeneration of the IVD involves a change in the nucleus pulposus (NP) cell population, characterized by the replacement/differentiation of the native notochordal cells (NCs) by/into chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs).

Challenges of stem cell therapies in companion animal practice
Regenerative medicine using stem cells from various sources are emerging treatment modality in several refractory diseases in veterinary medicine. It is well-known that stem cells can differentiate into specific cell types, self-renew, and regenerate. In addition, the unique immunomodulatory effects of stem cells have made stem cell transplantation a ...

Pumpkin phloem lectin genes are specifically expressed in companion cells. [PDF]
Pumpkin phloem exudate contains two abundant phloem proteins: PP1 is a 96-kD protein that forms polymeric filaments in vivo, and PP2 is a 48-kD dimeric lectin. Polyclonal antibodies raised against pumpkin phloem exudate were used to isolate several cDNAs corresponding to PP1 and PP2.
