First study on iron complexes in blood and organ samples from thalassaemic and normal laboratory mice using Moessbauer spectroscopy [PDF]
In this paper, blood and tissues samples from one normal and one thalassaemic lab-mice were studied using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy at 78K for the first time. In contrast to human patients, these laboratory mice did not receive any medical treatment, thus the iron components present in the samples are not altered.

Genetically modified mouse models addressing gonadotropin function
The development of genetically modified animals has been useful to understand the mechanisms involved in the regulation of the gonadotropin function. It is well known that alterations in the secretion of a single hormone is capable of producing profound reproductive abnormalities.

SERpredict: Detection of tissue- or tumor-specific isoforms generated through exonization of transposable elements [PDF]
Background: Transposed elements (TEs) are known to affect transcriptomes, because either new exons are generated from intronic transposed elements (this is called exonization), or the element inserts into the exon, leading to a new transcript. Several examples in the literature show that isoforms generated by an exonization are specific to a certain ...

Manipulations with early mouse embryos for generation of genetically modified animals
Recently, genome-editing technologies have become more efficient and accessible. The discovery of nucleases for directional genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN, ZFNs) significantly accelerated and simplified the production of mice with targeted gene ...

Genetic platelet depletion is superior in platelet transfusion compared to current models
Genetically modified mice have advanced our knowledge on platelets in hemostasis and beyond tremendously. However, mouse models harbor certain limitations, including availability of platelet specific transgenic strains, and off-target effects on other ...

Mapping genetic modifiers of survival in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome [PDF]
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population. Mutations in voltage‐gated sodium channels are responsible for several monogenic epilepsy syndromes. More than 800 mutations in the voltage‐gated sodium channel SCN1A have been reported in patients with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus and Dravet ...

Cancer immunoprevention: from mice to early clinical trials
Cancer immunoprevention is based on the fact that a functioning immune system controls tumor onset and development in humans and animals, thus leading to the idea that the enhancement of immune responses in healthy individuals could effectively reduce ...
