The Disease Du Jour 176: Equine Intestinal Disease Research with Dr. Liara Gonzalez

In this episode, we spoke with Liara Gonzalez, DVM, PhD, DACVS-LA, about her research on equine intestinal injury and recovery. Dr. Gonzalez’s lab was the first to develop a large animal pig model to study intestinal stem cells. It was also the first to identify these cells in horses and to grow intestinal stem cells into enteroids derived from pigs and horses. Her research is advancing our understanding of intestinal disease through expanded knowledge and use of equine intestinal stem cells in modulating mucosal barrier repair following ischemic damage.You can read Dr. Gonzalez’s published studies here: https://cvm.ncsu.edu/people/lmgonza4/This episode of Disease Du Jour is brought to you by Equithrive.Use promo code DUJOUR to get 20% off your first order, plus free shipping at Equithrive.com.GUESTS AND LINKS - EPISODE 176:Host: Carly Sisson (Digital Content Manager) of EquiManagement | Email Carly ([email protected])Guest: Dr. Liara Gonzalez, DVM, PhD, DACVS-LAPodcast Website: Disease Du JourThis episode of Disease Du Jour podcast is brought to you by Equithrive.Connect with the Host: Carly Sisson (Digital Content Manager) of EquiManagement | Email Carly ([email protected])
