Glaucoma is a leading and painful cause of blindness in dogs. Currently available interventions only delay blindness, highlighting the need for new and efficient therapies that preserve sight in affected...

Cancer researchers have been improving treatments for different cancers by identifying genetic variants (errors in the genetic code) in the tumors, and by identifying or developing new drugs that can...

Studies show that the most commonly isolated bacterial pathogens in canine ear infections are two species of Staphylococcus. Researchers have previously shown that fosmidomycin, an antibiotic and antimalarial agent, is...

Although seadragons are beloved by aquarium visitors worldwide, wild seadragons can only be seen off Australia’s southern coast. Little is known about the current conservation status of these animals, due...

Studies show horses frequently are exposed to elevated air pollution at racetracks around the United States, and that when air pollution is elevated on the day of racing, all horses...

Researchers will study proteins and the genetic makeup of the peritoneal fluid (a liquid that acts as a lubricant in the abdominal cavity) as a first step toward a diagnostic test to help predict which horses are at higher risk for colic surgery complications.

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) occurs when the immune system overreacts, or "goes haywire.” SIRS is associated with many conditions including severe infections and major trauma, and can lead to...
