Research Models for Studying Vascular Calcification [PDF]

, 2020
Calcification of the vessel wall contributes to high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification (VC) is a systemic disease with multifaceted contributing and inhibiting factors in an actively regulated process.

Hotspots of dendritic spine turnover facilitate clustered spine addition and learning and memory

Nature Communications, 2018
Structural remodeling of dendritic spines is thought to be a mechanism of memory storage. Here, the authors look at how spine turnover and clustering predict future learning and memory performance, and see that a genetically modified mouse with enhanced ...

Blood-testis barrier and spermatogenesis: lessons from genetically-modified mice

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2014
The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is found between adjacent Sertoli cells in the testis where it creates a unique microenvironment for the development and maturation of meiotic and postmeiotic germ cells in seminiferous tubes.

Dishevelled genes mediate a conserved mammalian PCP pathway to regulate convergent extension during neurulation [PDF]

, 2006
The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is conserved throughout evolution, but it mediates distinct developmental processes. In Drosophila, members of the PCP pathway localize in a polarized fashion to specify the cellular polarity within the plane of the

Maternal Supply of Cas9 to Zygotes Facilitates the Efficient Generation of Site-Specific Mutant Mouse Models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Genome manipulation in the mouse via microinjection of CRISPR/Cas9 site-specific nucleases has allowed the production time for genetically modified mouse models to be significantly reduced.

sgRNA Knock-in Mouse Provides an Alternative Approach for In Vivo Genetic Modification

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Functional genomics in a mammalian model such as mice is fundamental for understanding human biology. The CRISPR/Cas9 system dramatically changed the tempo of obtaining genetic mouse models due to high efficiency.

Translational outcomes in a full gene deletion of ubiquitin protein ligase E3A rat model of Angelman syndrome. [PDF]

, 2020
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, impaired communication, motor deficits and ataxia, intellectual disabilities, microcephaly, and seizures. The genetic cause of AS is the loss of expression

DNA fragmentation index (DFI) as a measure of sperm quality and fertility in mice. [PDF]

, 2020
Although thousands of genetically modified mouse strains have been cryopreserved by sperm freezing, the likelihood of cryorecovery success cannot be accurately predicted using conventional sperm parameters.

Development of HPV16 mouse and dog models for more accurate prediction of human vaccine efficacy

Laboratory Animal Research, 2023
Background Animal models are essential to understand the physiopathology of human diseases but also to evaluate new therapies. However, for several diseases there is no appropriate animal model, which complicates the development of effective therapies ...
