TL;DR: Many new candidate gene sequences were discovered for the first time and these will greatly enable future studies of wound healing, epigenetics, genome stability, and nerve-dependent blastema formation and outgrowth using the axolotl model.
From biomedicine to natural history research: EST resources for ambystomatid salamanders
Srikrishna Putta,J. Joshua Smith,John A. Walker,Mathieu Rondet,David W. Weisrock,James R. Monaghan,Amy K. Samuels,D. Kevin Kump,David C. King,Nicholas J. Maness,Bianca Habermann,Elly M. Tanaka,Susan V. Bryant,David M. Gardiner,David M. Parichy,S. Randal Voss +15 more
TL;DR: This study developed ESTs for Mexican axolotl and Eastern tiger salamander, species with deep and diverse research histories, to highlight the value of developing resources in traditional model systems where the likelihood of information transfer to multiple, closely related taxa is high, thus simultaneously enabling both laboratory and natural history research.
Comparison of the phenotypes of Streptococcus zooepidemicus isolated from tonsils of healthy horses and specimens obtained from foals and donkeys with pneumonia.
TL;DR: An SzP-specific immunoblot is a useful, sensitive measure of diversity among strains of S. zooepidemicus, and single strains with SzP phenotypes similar to those found in tonsils of healthy horses cause pneumonia.

Clioquinol and other Hydroxyquinoline Derivatives Inhibit Aβ(1-42) Oligomer Assembly
TL;DR: Preliminary data may suggest that 8-OH quinolines have the potential for suppressing Abeta oligomer formation which should be considered when assessing the effects of these compounds in animal models and clinical trials.

A Comprehensive Expressed Sequence Tag Linkage Map for Tiger Salamander and Mexican Axolotl: Enabling Gene Mapping and Comparative Genomics in Ambystoma
TL;DR: A new collection of EST-based PCR markers will better enable the Ambystoma system by facilitating development of new molecular probes, and the linkage map will allow comparative studies of this important vertebrate group.
