Unintended targeting of Dmp1-Cre reveals a critical role for Bmpr1a signaling in the gastrointestinal mesenchyme of adult mice [PDF]
Cre/loxP technology has been widely used to study cell type-specific functions of genes. Proper interpretation of such data critically depends on a clear understanding of the tissue specificity of Cre expression. The Dmp1-Cre mouse, expressing Cre from a

Long‐Term Cost Utility Analysis of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Analysis of 5‐Year Outcomes
This study utilizes a cohort‐style Markov decision tree economic model to evaluate the long‐term (5‐year) cost‐effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery versus medical management for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The results show that the endoscopic sinus surgery strategy cost more ($63,296.27) but yielded increased quality‐adjusted life years (
