Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most common form of kidney cancer and is typified by biallelic inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor gene. Here, we undertake genome...

BackgroundAccurate detection and monitoring of the oestrous cycle in West African Dwarf (WAD) goats is indispensable for reproductive management. Vaginal cytology is commonly used, but different collection methods may va...

Abstract Background Continuous digital hypothermia (CDH) prevents lamellar failure in the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp (EHC) model of laminitis, but the protective mechanisms are unclear. Hypothesis/Objectives To de...

ABSTRACT Amazonia (defined herein as the Amazon basin) is home to the greatest concentration of biodiversity on Earth, providing unique genetic resources and ecological functions that contribute to ecosystem services glo...

Abstract Background Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) is a common cause of irreversible blindness in dogs. It bears clinical resemblance to hypercortisolism, which can be associated with hypercoagulab...

En este trabajo se propone un recorrido teórico por las aproximaciones neoclásicas a los sistemas de jubilaciones desde fines de los '50 hasta fines de los '70. Lo que se desprende es un debate acerca de los problemas ...
