🔬 Happy National Pathology Week! 🧬 We’re shining a light on one of the most impactful parts of animal care: veterinary pathology! At DZCA, our Veterinary Pathologist studies animal health at both the macroscopic (tissue) and microscopic level to help diagnose illness, guide treatments, and improve care for every animal, from routine checkups to critical cases. Having a Veterinary Pathologist on staff means faster answers and improved, specialized care. Recently, this helped us identify a new,

The buildup of abnormal protein aggregates is a hallmark of ALS cases – one key protein involved in some cases of ALS is Fused in Sarcoma (FUS). A recipient of the 2024 ALS Canada-Brain Canada Discovery Grant, Dr. Guy Rouleau and his team will test if cells from people living with FUS-ALS can induce the spread of FUS protein aggregates in organoid models – small, three-dimensional brain-like structures. Their research aims to provide a better understanding of FUS pathology, providing valuable in
