Neutrophils in animal models of autoimmune disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neutrophils have traditionally been thought to play only a peripheral role in the genesis of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, recent studies in a variety of animal models suggest that these cells are central to the initiation and ...

CircGRIA1 shows an age-related increase in male macaque brain and regulates synaptic plasticity and synaptogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Circular RNAs are expressed in the brain and show age-dependent expression patterns. Here the authors show the circGRIA1 is expressed in an age-dependent manner in the male macaque brain and serves a functional role in synaptic plasticity.

Transcriptome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility genes and pathways for depression

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
Depression is the most prevalent mental disorder with substantial morbidity and mortality. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple risk variants for depression, due to the complicated gene regulatory mechanisms and ...

A Zebrafish Model of Mycobacterium leprae Granulomatous Infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the pathogenesis of leprosy granulomas has been hindered by a paucity of tractable experimental animal models. Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy, grows optimally at approximately 30°C, so we sought to model granulomatous disease in

Large animal models of cardiovascular disease

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, 2016
The human cardiovascular system is a complex arrangement of specialized structures with distinct functions. The molecular landscape, including the genome, transcriptome and proteome, is pivotal to the biological complexity of both normal and abnormal ...

A tetraspecific VHH-based neutralizing antibody modifies disease outcome in three animal models of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of nosocomial infection, is a serious disease in North America, Europe, and Asia. CDI varies greatly from asymptomatic carriage to life-threatening diarrhea, toxic megacolon, and toxemia.
