RSS 1.0Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences (MU)
Pathology and the anatomical sciences form a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine. Anatomical sciences encompasses the understanding of the structure and function of the body; pathology is a discipline that deals with all aspects of human disease. In the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri, Pathology and Anatomical Sciences is a single department. Faculty in the department teach and conduct research in the anatomy, cell biology, pathology and laboratory medicine.

Genetic and microbiota-mediated phenotype variability in the min mouse model of human colorectal cancer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Complex diseases develop as a result of genetic predisposition and environmental factors that determine individual risk. Environmental factors such as geographical location, diet, and lifestyle choices shape the gut ... -
Defining recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in a mouse model for regenerative therapeutic investigations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), a branch of the vagus nerve, results in ipsilateral vocal fold (VF) paralysis that contributes to dysphagia, dysphonia, and dyspnea (i.e., swallow, vocal, and respiratory ... -
Reflux, aspiration and respiratory disease in dogs : clinical consideration and advances in aerodigestive diagnostics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)The aspiration of gastric contents into the respiratory tract has been associated with the development and progression of multiple respiratory diseases in humans. In veterinary medicine the term “aspiration” is considered ... -
Morphological and biomechanical predictions of cranial kinesis in reptile evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Feeding is a complex behavior that all tetrapods engage in on a regular basis to procure energy and survive. The reptilian feeding apparatus includes many types of feeding behaviors including multiple methods of engaging ... -
Impacts of artificial light and melatonin signaling pathways on behavior and skeletal physiology in mice
