Therapeutic Potential of Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Nerve Disorders (2019)
Journal Article
Galieva, L. R., James, V., Mukhamedshina, Y. O., & Rizvanov, A. A. (2019). Therapeutic Potential of Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Nerve Disorders. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 13, Article 163. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2019.00163

The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as cell free therapy is a promising approach to stimulate tissue regeneration including that of the nervous system. EVs transfer bioactive proteins and lipids, RNA and microRNAs, which play a relevant role in E...

Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a common hereditary clinical syndrome in domestic dogs with no definitive diagnostic tests, which causes marked morbidity and has a high economic impact internationally. We created a novel questionnaire for Labrador... Read More about Development and validation of a new standardised data collection tool to aid in the diagnosis of canine skin allergies.

Anatomy and pathology of the Texel sheep larynx (2019)
Journal Article

The carcasses of animals infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), scrapie or chronic wasting disease (CWD) that remain in the environment (exposed or buried) may continue to act as reservoirs of infectivity. We co... Read More about BSE infectivity survives burial for five years with only limited spread.

DirtyGenes: testing for significant changes in gene or bacterial population compositions from a small number of samples (2019)
Journal Article

High throughput genomics technologies are applied widely to microbiomes in humans, animals, soil and water, to detect changes in bacterial communities or the genes they carry, between different environments or treatments. We describe a method to test... Read More about DirtyGenes: testing for significant changes in gene or bacterial population compositions from a small number of samples.
