Association of A31P and A74T polymorphisms in the myosin binding protein C3 gene and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Maine Coon and other breed cats

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited autosomal dominant trait in cats. The A31P single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the myosin binding protein C 3 gene is thought to be the causative mutation in Maine Coon cats. Additionally, the A74T SNP is offered as a genetic test for HCM. Objectives: […]

Bleomycin/interleukin-12 electrochemogenetherapy for treating naturally occurring spontaneous neoplasms in dogs

On the basis of superior outcomes from electrochemogenetherapy (ECGT) compared with electrochemotherapy in mice, researchers from the  Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA,  determined the efficacy of ECGT applied to spontaneous canine neoplasms.
