TGFβ in malignant canine mammary tumors: relation with angiogenesis, immunologi...

Transforming growth factor- (TGF) and FoxP3 regulatory T cells (Treg) are involved in human breast carcinogenesis. This topic is not well documented in canine mammary tumors (CMT). In this work, the tumoral TGF expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 67 malignant CMT and its correlation to previously determined FoxP3, VEGF, and CD31 markers and other clinicopathologic parameters was evaluated. The hi...

A One pathology multicentre Portuguese approach to thyroid tumours of dogs and ...

Thyroid tumours are the most common endocrine tumours of dogs and cats. Feline thyroid tumours are essentially functional adenomas curable with thyroidectomy, whereas most canine thyroid tumours are non-functional carcinomas either unresectable or recurrent within two years in up 50%. The oncobiology of these tumours remains unclear, but investigating this aspect could contribute to the development of targeted ...

Neurological lesions in cervids: a study in Portugal

Brain samples were collected within the project "CWD Risk in Portugal", profiOng the infecOous diseases epidemiological surveillance and screening of chronic wasOng disease (CWD) during cervids hunts.

Animal tuberculosis: gross lesions and anatomopathological diagnosis

Animal tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution that can cause serious animal infections with economic and public health concerns. In its turn, human TB is currently one of the leading causes of death in the world due to a curable disease. Although the diagnosis demands microbiological culture confirmation, anatomopathological diagnosis of suggestive lesions often provides a presumpti...

Tuberculosis: integrated studies for a complex disease 2050

Tuberculosis (TB) has been a disease for centuries with various challenges [1]. Like other places where challenges and opportunities come together, TB challenges were the inspiration for the scientific community to mobilize different groups for the purpose of interest. For example, with the emergence of drug resistance, there has been a huge volume of research on the discovery of new medicines and drug delivery...

Small ruminant Lentivirus: a practical approach

Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) is a group of viruses of the Retroviridae family, shared between caprine, ovine and wild ruminants. It is responsible for a systemic infection that can affect the lungs, central nervous system, mammary gland and joints, causing chronic, insidious, and progressive diseases, seriously affecting animal health. Concurrently, it is associated with a decrease in milk production, leadi...

Dextrin hydrogel loaded with a macroporous Bonelike® scaffold and dental pulp s...

Regeneration of severe bone defects remains a challenge. A formulation of synthetic glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite bone substitute, Bonelike® Poro (BL®P), 250500 µm-diameter, with a dextrin-based hydrogel (HG), further loaded with human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) with osteogenic differentiation ability, was tested for the management of critical-sized defects in an ovine model. Morphology, calcium release,...
