Journal Article
Tang, Y., Foster, N., Jones, M. A., & Barrow, P. A. (2018). A model of persistent Salmonella infection: Salmonella pullorum modulates the immune response of the chicken from a Th17 towards a Th2-type response. Infection and Immunity, 86(8), Article e00307-18. https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.00307-18

Salmonella enterica infection affects a wide range of animals and human and a small number of serovars cause typhoid-like infections, one characteristic of which is persistent infection in convalescents. The avian specific serovar S Pullorum produces...

Mucosal injury following short term tracheal intubation: a novel animal model and composite injury score (2018)
Journal Article
Sinha, R., Correia, R., Gardner, D., Grau-Roma, L., de Brot, S., Hardman, J., Morgan, S., & Norris, A. (2018). Mucosal injury following short term tracheal intubation: a novel animal model and composite injury score. Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 3(4), 257-262. https://doi.org/10.1002/lio2.168

Objectives: Postintubation laryngotracheal injury is common. Assessment of histopathological changes currently requires animal models. We set about developing a viable, resource effective animal model to study these effects and to develop a detailed...

Therapeutic prospects of extracellular vesicles in cancer treatment (2018)
Journal Article
Chulpanoval, D. S., Kitaeva, K. V., James, V., Rizvanov, A. A., & Solovyeval, V. V. (2018). Therapeutic prospects of extracellular vesicles in cancer treatment. Frontiers in Immunology, 9, Article 1534. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2018.01534

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by all cells within the tumor microenvironment, such as endothelial cells, tumor-associated fibroblasts, pericytes and immune system cells. The EVs carry the cargo of parental cells formed of proteins and nuc... Read More about Therapeutic prospects of extracellular vesicles in cancer treatment.

Novel inflammatory cell infiltration scoring system to investigate healthy and footrot affected ovine interdigital skin (2018)
