Research & Publications

A curated research library, not a reading list.

Every paper here represents real hours of work — organized by category and status so researchers, veterinarians, and owners can find what’s relevant to them.

MDR1 / ABCB1 Canine Oncology & T-Cell Lymphoma Case-Based Research Analysis

Bogart Case Foundation Paper

A comprehensive analysis of Bogart’s lymphoma, MDR1 M/M status, CCNU treatment, severe hepatotoxicity, supportive care, clinical decline, and the treatment questions his case leaves unresolved.

In Development
MDR1 / ABCB1 Canine Oncology & T-Cell Lymphoma Hypothesis Paper / Integrative Literature Review

MDR1–T-Cell Lymphoma Research Project

A hypothesis paper examining ABCB1/P-glycoprotein, lymphoma biology, chemotherapy resistance, relapse, and potentially useful adjunctive compounds.

In Development
MDR1 / ABCB1 HPA-Axis / Endocrine / Neurologic Narrative Review & Hypothesis Paper

MDR1 Beyond Drug Sensitivity: HPA-Axis, Steroid Biology & Neuroendocrine Resilience

Investigates whether complete ABCB1/P-glycoprotein deficiency may affect cortisol transport, HPA-axis regulation, endocrine stress physiology, and recovery — not merely sensitivity to recognized P-gp substrate drugs.

In Development
MDR1 / ABCB1 Surveys & Observational Research Hypothesis-Generating Observational Research Paper

Beyond Drug Sensitivity: Exploring Disease Susceptibility, Physiologic Resilience & Health Outcomes in MDR1-Variant Dogs

An exploratory project examining whether health, longevity, cancer, physiologic stress, reproductive history, environmental exposure, and recovery differ among dogs with varying ABCB1/MDR1 genotypes — drawing on breeder and owner observations to generate hypotheses, not establish causation.

In Development — Research framework & survey design phase
Canine Oncology & T-Cell Lymphoma Hypothesis Paper / Research Framework

Canine T-Cell Lymphoma: What We Know, What We Don’t Know, and Where Research Must Go

Reviews current evidence on diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, survival, relapse, and the major gaps still facing canine T-cell lymphoma research.

In Queue
Canine Oncology & T-Cell Lymphoma Scientific Review & Hypothesis-Generating Research Framework

Family-Line Cancer Cluster & Reported Glyphosate Exposure

A case-history and hypothesis framework exploring reported ancestral exposure, possible offspring effects, liver vulnerability, and lymphoma — without asserting causation.

In Development
Integrative & Supportive Oncology TBD

Supportive Compounds, Vitamins, Herbs & Biological Pathways

Evaluates possible supportive agents for lymphoma, hepatic injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and treatment tolerance, including MDR1 and drug-interaction risk.

In Development
Integrative & Supportive Oncology Supplements, Herbs & NutraceuticalsNutrition & Hydration Hypothesis Paper / Literature Review

Complementary and Supportive Therapies in MDR1-Deficient Dogs: P-Glycoprotein, Drug–Supplement Interactions, Nrf2 Signaling & Treatment Safety

An evidence-based look at herbs, supplements, and nutraceuticals in MDR1-deficient dogs through P-glycoprotein transport, drug–supplement interactions, CYP metabolism, Nrf2 signaling, oxidative stress, and hepatic protection — identifying research gaps and hypotheses for supportive-care decisions.

In Development — Near completion
Integrative & Supportive Oncology Clinical Support Framework

The Bogart Integrative Oncology Support Protocol

A working clinical-support framework, rather than a stand-alone research paper, bringing together supportive-care guidance developed through Bogart’s case. Will be presented in full as the framework develops.

In Queue
Nutrition & Hydration Original Research — Comparative Nutritional & Manufacturer Transparency Analysis

Commercial Dog Food Nutrition & Transparency

Examines what dog owners can actually determine about foods marketed for long-term feeding — nutrient composition, organ content, copper and vitamin burdens, manufacturer testing, disclosure practices, AAFCO standards, and the limits of “complete and balanced.”

In Development — Near completion
Nutrition & Hydration HPA-Axis / Endocrine / Neurologic TBD

Neurologic Suitability of Premium Dog Foods

Evaluates rosemary extract, botanical additives, fat composition, protein selection, and other ingredients that may matter for neurologically vulnerable dogs.

In Development
Nutrition & Hydration Scientific Literature Review / Evidence Synthesis

High-Protein Diets in Dogs: Benefits, Physiologic Limits & Disease Considerations

Examines what the evidence actually shows about high dietary protein in healthy, senior, and diseased dogs — protein quantity versus quality, preservation of lean body mass, and whether evidence supports the claim that high protein damages healthy kidneys.

In Queue
Nutrition & Hydration Scientific Literature Review / Evidence Synthesis

Canine Drinking-Water Hygiene, Bowl Biofilms & Health

Investigates microbial biofilms in food and water bowls, the effect of bowl material and cleaning practices, organisms identified in contaminated bowls, and whether evidence actually links contaminated drinking water to urinary or renal disease, acute kidney injury, sepsis, or death in dogs.

In Queue
HPA-Axis / Endocrine / Neurologic Hypothesis

Reproductive Hormones, Neurologic Threshold & Seizure Clustering

Currently a section of the HPA-Axis paper, but may become a standalone hypothesis paper if sufficient evidence emerges concerning estrus-associated seizure patterns.

In Development
Treatment Injury, Hepatotoxicity & Safety Canine Oncology & T-Cell LymphomaVeterinary Standards & Informed Consent Hypothesis Paper / Literature Review

CCNU/Lomustine Hepatotoxicity, Liver Protection & Informed Consent

Investigates liver-injury risk, monitoring, protective strategies, treatment interruption, supportive care, and how that risk is disclosed to owners.

In Development
Veterinary Standards & Informed Consent Canine Oncology & T-Cell LymphomaTreatment Injury, Hepatotoxicity & SafetySurveys & Observational Research TBD

Veterinary Oncology Treatment & Supportive-Care Standards

A proposed standards paper covering toxicity monitoring, nutrition, hydration, intervention thresholds, and quality-of-life protection during cancer treatment.

In Queue
Veterinary Standards & Informed Consent Treatment Injury, Hepatotoxicity & SafetySurveys & Observational Research TBD

Veterinary Informed Consent & Genotype-Aware Care

A proposed paper addressing off-label treatment disclosure, realistic outcomes, alternatives, MDR1-specific considerations, and owner decision authority.

About this library

Papers are organized by primary category, with related areas shown as secondary tags when a project spans more than one field of research.

Each paper also carries a status label showing where the work currently stands: In Development, In Queue, or Completed.

The category structure will continue to be refined as the full body of work is organized, with the goal of maintaining a clear, manageable research library rather than creating too many narrow or overlapping sections.
