Genetically modified mouse models to study hepatic neutral lipid mobilization. [PDF]
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis, 2019 Excessive accumulation of triacylglycerol is the common denominator of a wide range of clinical pathologies of liver diseases, termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Such excessive triacylglycerol deposition in the liver is also referred to as hepatic steatosis.

Sharpened cochlear tuning in a mouse with a genetically modified tectorial membrane [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2007 Frequency tuning in the cochlea is determined by the passive mechanical properties of the basilar membrane and active feedback from the outer hair cells, sensory-effector cells that detect and amplify sound-induced basilar membrane motions. The sensory hair bundles of the outer hair cells are imbedded in the tectorial membrane, a sheet of extracellular
