DOI: 10.1089/scd.2017.0224
Abstract: We demonstrate the generation of Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) induced pluripotent stem cells (DeviPSCs) from dermal fibroblasts by lentiviral delivery of human transcription factors. DeviPSCs display characteristic pluripotent stem cell colony morphology, with individual cells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16408
Abstract: Understanding the effects of wildlife diseases on populations requires insight into local environmental conditions, host defence mechanisms, host life‐history trade‐offs, pathogen population dynamics, and their interactions. The survival of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) is challenged… read more here.
