Non‐functional metastatic thyroid carcinoma with oesophageal invasion and ulceration in a cat
Abstract An adult, male, neutered, domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 2‐month history of dysphagia and a movable cervical mass. Cytology of the cervical mass was consistent with carcinoma. Thoracic radiographs revealed pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, diffuse patchy interstitial pattern and pulmonary nodules.

Comparative study on the effect of human BST-2/Tetherin on HIV-1 release in cells of various species [PDF]
In this study, we first demonstrate that endogenous hBST-2 is predominantly expressed on the plasma membrane of a human T cell line, MT-4 cells, and that Vpu-deficient HIV-1 was less efficiently released than wild-type HIV-1 from MT-4 cells. In addition,
