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.

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 ...
