🐾 New Study Saturday🐾 At UTCVM- University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, CHF-funded researchers are using artificial intelligence to create optimized drug cocktails that target different markers on canine B cell lymphoma cells. Results will suggest patient-specific radiopharmaceutical cocktails that provide optimal killing of tumor cells while sparing adjacent healthy cells. Another step toward personalized medicine for canine cancer treatment! Read more about this study here: https://bit.ly/4dUnKyn. #NewStudySaturday #caninelymphoma #radiopharmaceuticals

At the University of California, Davis, CHF-funded investigators found that an insertion mutation associated with an increased risk for idiopathic epilepsy in the Belgian Shepherd breeds causes a protein to relocate from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm. This may affect an important signaling pathway and contribute to the idiopathic epilepsy observed in Belgian Shepherds. Read more at https://bit.ly/4dGj1jS. #caninepilepsy #CanineHealthResearch
