Radiographic assessment of the skeletons of Dolly and other clones finds no abnormal osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article
Corr, S. A., Gardner, D. S., Langley-Hobbs, S., Ness, M. G., Kitchener, A. C., & Sinclair, K. D. (2017). Radiographic assessment of the skeletons of Dolly and other clones finds no abnormal osteoarthritis. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 15685. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-15902-8

Our recent report detailing the health status of cloned sheep concluded that the animals had aged normally. This is in stark contrast to reports on Dolly (first animal cloned from adult cells) whose diagnoses of osteoarthritis (OA) at 5½ years of age...

Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells (2017)
Journal Article
Choi, M., Genereux, D. P., Goodson, J., Al-Azzawi, H., Allain, S. Q., Simon, N., …Laird, C. D. (2017). Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells. PLoS Genetics, 13(11), Article e1007060. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1007060

In storing and transmitting epigenetic information, organisms must balance the need to maintain information about past conditions with the capacity to respond to information in their current and future environments. Some of this information is encode... Read More about Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells.

Physiological responses of cultured bovine granulosa cells to elevated temperatures under low and high oxygen in the presence of different concentrations of melatonin (2017)
Journal Article
Zeebaree, B. K., Kwong, W. Y., Mann, G. E., Gutierrez, C. G., & Sinclair, K. D. (2018). Physiological responses of cultured bovine granulosa cells to elevated temperatures under low and high oxygen in the presence of different concentrations of melatonin. Theriogenology, 105, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2017.09.014

Our understanding of the effects of temperature on granulosa cell (GC) physiology is primarily limited to in vitro studies conducted under atmospheric (approx 20% O2) conditions. In the current series of factorial experiments we identify important ef...
