Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the Yucatan minipig as a possible model for human wrist carpal instability research by investigating its forelimb biomechanics under different conditions.
- Researchers measured the range of motion (ROM) in various directions using a robotic simulator after testing the forelimb in three scenarios: intact and after cutting two specific ligaments.
- Findings showed that while some changes in movement were noted after ligament transection, overall, the biomechanics of the YP forelimb had less ROM in certain directions compared to humans, particularly in extension and deviation.
Despite the absence of a confirmed exogenously replicating retrovirus in Canis lupus familiaris (C. familiaris), past retroviral infections are evident in the genomes of living animals via the presence of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Although gammaretrovirus-like transcripts and enzyme activities were previously reported to be present in canine leukemias and lymphomas, those findings were not further explored.
