Journal Article
Thangaraj, S. V., Kachman, M., Halloran, K. M., Sinclair, K. D., Lea, R., Bellingham, M., …Padmanabhan, V. (2023). Developmental programming: Preconceptional and gestational exposure of sheep to a real-life environmental chemical mixture alters maternal metabolome in a fetal sex-specific manner. Science of the Total Environment, 864, Article 161054. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161054

Background
Everyday, humans are exposed to a mixture of environmental chemicals some of which have endocrine and/or metabolism disrupting actions which may contribute to non-communicable diseases. The adverse health impacts of real-world chemical ex...

Assessment of a joint farmer-veterinarian discussion about biosecurity using novel social interaction analyses (2022)
Journal Article
Chomyn, O., Wapenaar, W., Richens, I. F., Reyneke, R. A., Shortall, O., Kaler, J., & Brennan, M. L. (2023). Assessment of a joint farmer-veterinarian discussion about biosecurity using novel social interaction analyses. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 212, Article 105831. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2022.105831

Veterinarians are trusted by farmers and play an important role in assisting them to implement biosecurity. More research is needed that particularly focuses on the impact of joint farmer-veterinarian discussions to further understand the role of com...

Effects of norethisterone acetate on the performance of female racing Greyhounds (2022)
Journal Article
Payne, R. M. (2023). Effects of norethisterone acetate on the performance of female racing Greyhounds. Research in Veterinary Science, 155, 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2022.12.013

A comparison between the performance of spayed female racing Greyhounds and those suppressed with norethisterone acetate (NTA) was made. Previous work by the author has shown that the racing performance of spayed bitches is the same as that of entire...

Genome Reference Assembly for Bottlenecked Southern Australian Koalas (2022)
Journal Article
Blanchard, A. M., Emes, R. D., Greenwood, A. D., Holmes, N., Loose, M. W., McEwen, G. K., …Tarlinton, R. E. (2023). Genome Reference Assembly for Bottlenecked Southern Australian Koalas. Genome Biology and Evolution, 15(1), Article evac176. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evac176

Koala populations show marked differences in inbreeding levels and in the presence or absence of the endogenous Koala retrovirus (KoRV). These genetic differences among populations may lead to severe disease impacts threatening koala population viabi...

Towards Personalized Management of Ovarian Cancer (2022)
Journal Article
Algethami, M., Kulkarni, S., Sadiq, M. T., Tang, H. K., Brownlie, J., Jeyapalan, J. N., …Madhusudan, S. (2022). Towards Personalized Management of Ovarian Cancer. Cancer Management and Research, 14, 3469-3483. https://doi.org/10.2147/CMAR.S366681

Despite advances in surgery and chemotherapy, the overall outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer remain poor. Although initial response rates to platinum-based chemotherapy is about 60–80%, most patients will have recurrence and succumb t... Read More about Towards Personalized Management of Ovarian Cancer.

Functional Characterization of 15 Novel Dense Granule Proteins in Toxoplasma gondii Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System (2022)
Journal Article
Zheng, X. N., Wang, J. L., Elsheikha, H. M., Wang, M., Zhang, Z. W., Sun, L. X., …Li, T. T. (2023). Functional Characterization of 15 Novel Dense Granule Proteins in Toxoplasma gondii Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System. Microbiology Spectrum, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03078-22

The analysis of the subcellular localization and function of dense granule proteins (GRAs) is of central importance for the understanding of host-parasite interaction and pathogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii infection. Here, we identified 15 novel GRAs... Read More about Functional Characterization of 15 Novel Dense Granule Proteins in Toxoplasma gondii Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System.
