Peri-conception and first trimester diet modifies reproductive development in bulls (2017)
Journal Article
Copping, K. J., Ruiz-Diaz, M. D., Rutland, C. S., Mongan, N. P., Callaghan, M., McMillen, I. C., Rodgers, R. J., & Perry, V. (in press). Peri-conception and first trimester diet modifies reproductive development in bulls. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, https://doi.org/10.1071/RD17102

Nutritional perturbation during gestation alters male reproductive development in rodents and sheep. In cattle both the developmental trajectory of the feto–placental unit and its response to dietary perturbations is dissimilar to that of these speci...

Journal Article
Simpson, S., Dunning, M. D., de Brot, S., Grau-Roma, L., Mongan, N. P., & Rutland, C. S. (2017). Comparative review of human and canine osteosarcoma: morphology, epidemiology, prognosis, treatment and genetics. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 59, Article 71. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-017-0341-9

Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a rare cancer in people. However OSA incidence rates in dogs are 27 times higher than in people. Prognosis in both species is poor, with five year osteosarcoma survival rates in people not having improved in decades. For dogs, o...

Parental protein malnutrition programmes of offspring growth and vasculature to increase risk of cardiovascular, pancreatic, and metabolic disease: lessons learned from animal studies (2017)
Journal Article
Ruiz-Diaz, M. D., Partridge, H., Davidson, F., Mongan, N. P., Gardner, D. S., & Rutland, C. S. (2017). Parental protein malnutrition programmes of offspring growth and vasculature to increase risk of cardiovascular, pancreatic, and metabolic disease: lessons learned from animal studies. European Medical Journal Reproductive Health, 3(1),

It is well known that consumption of a balanced diet throughout adulthood is key toward maintenance of optimal body weight and cardiovascular health. Research using animal models can provide insights into the programming of short and long-term health...

Cytochalasin B-induced membrane vesicles convey angiogenic activity of parental cells (2017)
Journal Article
Gomzikova, M., Zhuravleva, M., Miftakhova, R., Arkhipova, S., Evtugin, V., Khaiboullina, S., Kiyasov, A., Persson, J., Mongan, N. P., Pestell, R., & Rizvanov, A. A. (2017). Cytochalasin B-induced membrane vesicles convey angiogenic activity of parental cells. Oncotarget, 8(41), https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.19723

Naturally occurring extracellular vesicles (EVs) play essential roles in intracellular communication and delivery of bioactive molecules. Therefore it has been suggested that EVs could be used for delivery of therapeutics. However, to date the therap...

Clinical Endocrinology, 87(5), 557-565. https://doi.org/10.1111/cen.13436

OBJECTIVE: Women with a prior history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have an increased risk of endometrial cancer (EC).
AIM: To investigate whether the endometrium of women with PCOS possess gene expression changes similar to those found in EC....

New Phytologist, 215(1), 157-172. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.14586

N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of mRNA is an essential process in most eukaryotes, but its role and the status of factors accompanying this modification are still poorly understood.

Using combined methods of genetics, proteomics and RNA biochemis... Read More about Identification of factors required for m6A mRNA methylation in Arabidopsis reveals a role for the conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase HAKAI.

The placenta and tumors share important characteristics, including a requirement to establish effective angiogenesis. In the case of the placenta, optimal angiogenesis is required to sustain the blood flow required to maintain a successful pregnancy,...
