Here are some highlights from this issue:
• DENTAL DEBUT: When Dr. James Anthony joined WCVM's faculty in January 2006, he became the first veterinary dentist to fill an academic role in Canada.
• CANCER CARE KIT: WCVM has developed a base of technologies, expertise and services that can be used for teaching veterinary students in all aspects of cancer therapy.
• SIGHT RESTORATION: Blindness used to be imminent for dogs diagnosed with cataracts - but the prognosis has become much brighter with advances in cataract surgery.
• BLOCKING THE PATH OF CANCER: WCVM researchers are part of the push to find new ways of inhibiting angiogenesis — or blood vessel formation — in cancerous tumours.
• PET PROJECTS: WCVM scientists publish the results of a study investigating the cause of corneal sequestra — a painful eye condition in cats.
