Study Showing Simple Lighting Changes Dramatically Reduce Stress in Shelter Cats
PetPace is proud to announce the publication of a groundbreaking peer-reviewed study conducted at Michigan State University demonstrating how simple changes in indoor lighting can significantly reduce stress in shelter cats.
Household cat could hold the key to understanding breast cancer
The first study of multiple cancer types in cats has identified genetic changes that could help treat the condition in humans and animals.
Blood marker from dementia research could help track aging across the animal world
The protein “neurofilament light chain” (NfL) – studied in humans in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and aging – is also detectable in the blood of numerous animals, and NfL levels increase with age in mice, cats, dogs, and horses. Experts from the DZNE and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) at the University of Tübingen report these findings in the scientific journal “PLOS Biology”.
Experts uncover why cats are prone to kidney disease
Researchers from the University of Nottingham have uncovered a surprising biological quirk in domestic cats that may help explain why they are so prone to chronic kidney disease.
New ‘liver-on-a-chip’ device could make drug safety testing more reliable
Now, researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, working with academic and industry collaborators, report that a “liver-on-a-chip” device may offer a more reliable way to predict drug-induced liver injury (DILI) before medications ever reach patients.
Fire-footed rope squirrels identified as a natural reservoir for monkeypox virus
Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) that can lead to severe illness in humans. It regularly spills over from wildlife to humans in West and Central Africa, and some of these spillovers have recently sparked large global outbreaks sustained by human-to-human transmission.
