PMID: 34979909
Background: Gastroinestinal nematodes (GIN) are one of the major health problem in grazing sheep. Although genetic variability of the resistance to GIN has been documented, traditional selection is hampered by...

Genet Sel Evol
. 2019 Nov;
51(1):65.
PMID: 31744455
Background: The detection of regions that affect quantitative traits (QTL), to implement selection assisted by molecular information, remains of particular interest in dairy sheep for which genetic gain is constrained...

J Anim Breed Genet
. 2019 Jun;
136(6):526-534.
PMID: 31206848
Selective breeding has led to modifications in the genome of many livestock breeds. In this study, we identified the genomic regions that may explain some of the phenotypic differences between...

Genet Sel Evol
. 2018 Jun;
50(1):35.
PMID: 29940848
Background: In the last 50 years, the diversity of cattle breeds has experienced a severe contraction. However, in spite of the growing diffusion of cosmopolite specialized breeds, several local cattle...

. 2016 Sep;
4(2):70-9.
PMID: 27602346
Purpose: the aim of this study was to determine whether local delivery of embryonic stem-like (ESL) cells into osteochondral defects in the femoral condyles of sheep would enhance regeneration of...

PMID: 25523522
Background: Articular cartilage has poor intrinsic capacity for regeneration because of its avascularity and very slow cellular turnover. Defects deriving from trauma or joint disease tend to be repaired with...
