Background: The identification of the activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway as a frequent molecular event in canine cutaneous papillomas (CPs) has provided the rational foundation to explore novel molecular-targeted therapies. Recent evidence indicates that metformin reduces the size of CPs in mice by inhibiting the mTOR signalling pathway. These effects require the expression of the organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3/SLC22A3), a well-known metformin uptake transporter.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent relapses. The genomics revolution has greatly contributed and revolutionised our knowledge of human AD; understanding the molecular skin fingerprint of AD and associated pathogenic immune pathways has led to preclinical assessments of several novel treatments. Initial studies using microarray analysis to analyse transcriptome (gene expression) changes provided relevant insight on the inflammatory and structural changes occurring at the time of acute or chronic AD skin lesions, or after immunomodulating treatments with drugs ciclosporin and dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody anti-IL4 receptor.

The study by Sasahara et al. (2008) offers a comprehensive exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage, utilizing genome-wide microarray technology and network-based analysis in a canine model. Their work identifies significant gene expression changes, particularly in IL-6, IL-8, and CCL2, which are implicated in cell signaling, host-pathogen interactions, and immune responses.

It frequently presents a diagnostic challenge as many melanomas lack or contain scant melanin and may have a variable microscopic phenotype. Previous studies evaluating immunohistochemical markers for diagnosing melanoma have shown limited sensitivity and/or specificity for S-100, PNL2, melan A, TRP-1, TRP-2, and HMB-45.

Visceral Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania infantum, is a tropical neglected disease and the most dangerous form of Leishmaniasis. It occurs zoonotically, with domestic transmission posing risks to humans as dogs have high susceptibility and are natural reservoirs of the parasite. Given their epidemiological role, improvements are needed in diagnosing Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL).
