(Web Page; Wed Aug 21 09:05:00 CDT 2019)
Description: Stem cells are cells that have the ability to become many other cell types. In the proposed project, we will inject adult bone marrow stem cells into dogs with diseases that modern veterinary medicine lacks an effective cure. It is anticipated that the plastic stem cells will change into a form beneficial to the dog patient and improve the disease. Diseases that we will investigate for benefit from stem cells include dilated cardiomyopathy, degenerative myelopathy, inflammatory bowel disease and correction of inborn errors of metabolism. Modern veterinary medicine lacks effective cures for all of these diseases and we hope to develop methods for dealing with them.

34. Investigation of Inherited Diseases of the German Shepherd Dog Using the SNP Array
(Web Page; Fri Aug 16 11:20:00 CDT 2019)
Description:
Background: The German Shepherd Dog (GSD) is a very popular pet in the United States (third most registered breed in 2006). According to the Canine Inherited Disorders Database, the breed is afflicted with approximately 50 hereditary disorders, including degenerative myelopathy (DM), pancreatic acinar atrophy (PAA), and megaesophagus (ME). These diseases disrupt the quality of life for both dog and owner. There are no means to identify carrier or affected dogs before the onset of clinical signs, making it difficult to eliminate these diseases from the breed. Objective: The researchers are using a new technology, the SNP array, in a simultaneous study of all three diseases in order to identify the responsible genes.
