JVDI call for submissions on Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals.
by Bruce Williams Sept. 2, 2024

Sept. 2, 2024

Call for submissions JVDI call for submissions on Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals. Interstitial lung diseases frequently represent a diagnostic challenge for veterinary diagnosticians. This challenge can be identified at all stages of diagnosis, particularly with gross and histologic interpretation. Moreover, each animal species varies in pulmonary physiology, pathology, and frequency of different diseases, which add more layers of complexity to this already-difficult pattern. We aim to expand our knowledge of this intricate pattern to better investigate our lung submissions, describe lesions, and finally diagnose interstitial lung diseases. We are inviting submissions to a JVDI special section on *Interstitial lung disease in domestic animals* to be guest edited by Dr. Francisco R. Carvallo, Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Tech, and Dr. Jeff Caswell, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph. If you are interested, please submit an abstract of up to 250 words describing your proposed topic by September 30, 2024. Primary research papers, case series, and reviews of a focused topic will be considered, as will single-animal case reports if they are novel and include a review of the literature on the focused topic of the report. For abstracts on topics considered suitable for the special issue, authors will be notified by October 30, 2024, and full submissions will be expected by April 30, 2025. Submitted manuscripts will proceed through the usual JVDI peer-review and editorial processes, with publications expected in the fall of 2025. Page charges of $75/printed page will apply - there is no color page charge for online-only publications. Please submit your abstract to guest editor Dr. Francisco R. Carvallo, fcarvallo(a)vt.edu.

Call for papers on the pathology of humanized mouse models for an upcoming special edition of Veterinary Pathology
by Bruce Williams Sept. 2, 2024

Sept. 2, 2024

*Call for papers on the pathology of humanized mouse models* ** Over the last decade, the use of humanized mouse models engrafted with a variety of tissues and cells of human origin has become one of the experimental paradigms most frequently used in translational research. This has been possible thanks to the establishment of genetically engineered mice with severely impaired innate and adaptive immune systems, such as NSG or NOG mice, offering a highly permissive recipient environment for the functional integration of the xenotransplanted human components. Humanized mouse models have been successfully employed for diverse experimental applications, including patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models, preclinical testing of cellular immunotherapies, and other non-neoplastic human diseases. However, a series of unintended post-transplant disorders have been characterized in recent years. These disorders are clinically relevant for mouse recipients, limiting their usage, especially for longer-term studies, and represent potential experimental confounders for interpreting preclinical data. Given the increasing importance of humanized mice, raising awareness of inherent limitations and unintended consequences of human chimerism is paramount to better understanding the preclinical relevance and translational potential of these models. To this aim, veterinary and comparative pathologists working with immunocompromised and humanized mouse models are uniquely positioned to help define the spectrum of experimentally induced and spontaneous (infectious and noninfectious) conditions affecting these chimeric animals through intentional and pathological characterization. Therefore, the journal *Veterinary Pathology* is issuing a call for papers for a special issue on "The Pathology of Humanized Mouse Models" and encouraging submission of primary research papers. *Veterinary Pathology <https://uze9evdbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Lxf0z2n2WJxqiFGETVwGGTEeUeUSAFkf0P…>* is the journal of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, the European College of Veterinary Pathologists, and the Japanese College of Veterinary Pathologists. Research Papers for the special issue should focus on one or more of the following aspects: (1) Description of naturally occurring diseases (infectious and noninfectious) of immunocompromised mouse strains used for humanization. (2) Description of post-transplant experimentally induced conditions affecting immunocompromised mice used for humanization. (3) Assessment of the pathology endpoints in preclinical studies using mouse recipients for human cellular immunotherapies. (4) Approaches to study the nature and extent of chimerism in humanized mice. (5) Beyond humans, description of chimeric mouse models xenotransplanted with tissues or cells from non-human species. (6) Beyond mice, description of humanized models employing non-nurine immunocompromised animals as recipients. Interested authors are advised to send a short abstract summary or prospectus to the guest editors, *Dr. Charles Assenmacher <chasse(a)vet.upenn.edu>*, *Dr. Enrico Radaelli <enrada(a)vet.upenn.edu>*, and *Dr. Pedro Ruivo <prruivo(a)ucdavis.edu>* before submitting a manuscript. Please submit abstracts for consideration by *Monday, September 30, 2024. *Upon review, corresponding authors will be contacted via e-mail regarding the status of their proposal(s) and the next steps. *Veterinary Pathology *publishes basic and applies research involving domestic, laboratory, and zoo animals, wildlife, poultry, and other animals. The scope of the journal includes novel descriptions of pathologic changes, clinical pathology and clinical-pathologic correlations for natural and experimental diseases of animals, investigations of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease (general pathology) and other aspects of pathogenesis, descriptions and use of animal models of human disease, and studies of pharmaceutical and environmental hazards. Manuscripts considered for publication must: 1. have significant importance to animal and/or human health, 2. include new knowledge supported by valid data, 3. address disease mechanisms (pathogenesis, pathophysiology) or pathologic findings in important new or emerging diseases or clinicpathologic correlations, 4. AND be of sufficiently broad interest to be of substantial value to veterinary pathologists. For more info, please contact: *Pedro R.

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter: September 2024 issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Sept. 1, 2024

Sept. 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the September issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, skillfully prepared, as usual, by our awesome managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Thank you, Jeann and Javier! As you probably already noticed, the newsletter is becoming increasingly larger. This simply reflects the enormous amount of training activities that the Foundation offers every month, prepared and delivered by our incredibly generous volunteers. Thank you!!! Amongst the myriad training activities offered by the Foundation in the coming weeks/months, there are a few that I wish to highlight: If you are going to Nashville for the annual AAVLD meeting in October, do not forget to register for the DTF Pre-meeting Workshop on Dermatopathology with keynote speakers Dominique J. Wiener and Aline Rodrigues Hoffman. Do not miss this amazing opportunity to deepen your knowledge and network with experts in the field! And talking about AAVLD; in our ongoing commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within our field, we are excited to partner with the AAVLD Committee on DEI (AAVLDEI) to present an engaging workshop titled "Essential Skills for Civil Conversations". This event will take place on Saturday, October 12, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. And remember that registration for the fully revamped Descriptive course, now Foundations of Pathology offered together with the annual meeting of ACVP, is open. Just a few spots are available; hurry up and register. If you are attending ACVP, consider also registering for our pre-meeting workshop "No guts-no glory", on tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, with a great list of speakers. In less than two weeks is the 3-day hands-on Racehorse Necropsy Workshop co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, for which only 2 seats remain available. If you registered for the waitlist, please check you emails (and spam folders) for messages from host.1(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org<mailto:host.1@davisthompsonfoundation.org>. Finally, as part of our ongoing efforts to offer scientific literature at very low cost, the Foundation just edited the book Intoxicaciones por plantas, micotoxinas y otras toxinas en rumiantes y équidos de Sudamérica, brilliantly written in Spanish by Drs Franklin Riet-Correa,Juan Francisco Micheloud, Mizael Machado, Fábio de Souza Mendonça, Ana Lucia Schild and Ricardo Antônio de Lemos. This is the first physical book in Spanish edited by the Foundation and we hope that there will be many more coming. The price is $ 40 plus postage; at 500 pages with 256 color illustrations, this is an incredible bargain! Also remember that we will be selling this, plus other books edited by the Foundation at AAVLD and ACVP (at discount prices), which will also save you shipping. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our upcoming seminars.
