Nanobody-targeted photodynamic therapy for the treatment of feline oral carcinoma: a step towards translation to the veterinary clinic by Beltrán Hernández Irati, Grinwis Guillaume C.M., Di Maggio Alessia, van Bergen en Henegouwen Paul M.P., Hennink Wim E., Teske Erik, Hesselink Jan W., van Nimwegen Sebastiaan A., Mol Jan A., Oliveira Sabrina

“…NB-PDT has preclinically shown evident success and we next aim to treat cats with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which has very limited therapeutic options and is regarded as a natural model of human head and neck SCC. Immunohistochemistry of feline OSCC tissue confirmed that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a relevant target with expression in cancer cells and not in the surrounding stroma. …”

An Evolutionary Genomic Approach to Identify Genes Involved in Human Birth Timing by Plunkett, Jevon, Doniger, Scott, Orabona, Guilherme, Morgan, Thomas, Haataja, Ritva, Hallman, Mikko, Puttonen, Hilkka, Menon, Ramkumar, Kuczynski, Edward, Norwitz, Errol, Snegovskikh, Victoria, Palotie, Aarno, Peltonen, Leena, Fellman, Vineta, DeFranco, Emily A., Chaudhari, Bimal P., McGregor, Tracy L., McElroy, Jude J., Oetjens, Matthew T., Teramo, Kari, Borecki, Ingrid, Fay, Justin C., Muglia, Louis J.

“…Because of relatively large human head size and narrow birth canal cross-sectional area compared to other primates, we hypothesized that genes involved in parturition would display accelerated evolution along the human and/or higher primate phylogenetic lineages to decrease the length of gestation and promote delivery of a smaller fetus that transits the birth canal more readily. …”
