Highly Contagious Infection Threatens Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox Population
Assessing Immune Stimulation as a Potential Therapy for Osteosarcoma
This study will characterize the expression of toll-like receptors, which activate the immune system, in canine osteosarcoma cells to better determine the biological consequences associated with activating these receptors.
Testing Strategies to Treat Drug-Resistant Hemangiosarcomas
Investigators are assessing the potential for a specific tumor-cell population in canine hemangiosarcoma to sequester drugs within their lysosomes as a novel mechanism of drug resistance.
Assessing the NDY1 Protein as a Potential Treatment for Mast Cell Cancer
The goal of this study is to determine new strategies for treating canine mast cell tumors based on the targeting of a DNA-packaging protein called NDY1.
Developing a Way to Predict Length of Disease-Free Intervals for Dogs with Bone Cancer
This study investigates how cytogenetic changes in canine osteosarcoma affect the duration of disease-free interval when patients are treated with amputation followed by doxorubicin and non-cytotoxic suramin.
Determining How Overexpression of miR-9 Helps Osteosarcoma Spread
This study will provide a molecular framework for understanding the process of miR-9-driven tumor spread in canine osteosarcoma, thereby generating potential new targets for therapy to prevent or treat tumor spread in this devastating disease.
