Preclinical Research of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Ocular Diseases (2022)
Book Chapter

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are specific cell types that enable tissue renewal within the body and are activated during the regeneration processes in response to injury. These cells are present in all human and animal tissues. In medical and biologi... Read More about Preclinical Research of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Ocular Diseases.

Diagnosis, Prognosis, Management, Treatment, Research and Advances in Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy (2021)
Book Chapter

Dilated cardiomyopathy involves enlargement of the ventricular chamber and systolic dysfunction. The reduction in quality of life and increased levels of congestive heart failure, combined with the high diagnosis rate within the canine population, hi...

Reptilian skin and its special histological structures (2019)
Book Chapter

Reptilian skin is covered with scales forming armor that makes it watertight and enables reptiles to live on land in contrast to amphibians. An important part of the skin is the horny epidermis, with thick stratum corneum in which waxes are arranged... Read More about Reptilian skin and its special histological structures.

The Anatomy, Histology and Physiology of the Healthy and Lame Equine Hoof (2019)
Book Chapter

Satisfactory investigations of the equine foot appear to be limited by the histomorphological complexity of internal hoof structures. Foot lameness is considered to be one of the most debilitating pathological disorders of the equine foot. In most sp...

Epigenetic control of microRNA expression and cancer (2017)
Book Chapter

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are involved in pathways central to homeostasis and cellular function, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis; processes which when aberrantly regulated contribute to the hallmarks of cancer. The contributi... Read More about Epigenetic control of microRNA expression and cancer.

Heterochromatin modulation and PCG control of gene expression mediated by noncoding RNA in cancer (2017)
Book Chapter

In eukaryotes, the packaging of DNA and proteins, termed chromatin, is an essential determinant of transcription. The basic unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, is composed of ?146 base pairs of DNA spooled around a dense protein core containing two co...
