CRISPR-mediated rapid generation of neural cell-specific knockout mice facilitates research in neurophysiology and pathology

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Inducible conditional knockout mice are important tools for studying gene function and disease therapy, but their generation is costly and time-consuming.

Knockout Corner: Knockout mice for monoamine oxidase A [PDF]

The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 1999
A line of transgenic mice was isolated in which transgene integration had caused a deletion in the gene encoding monoamine oxidase A, an enzyme that degrades serotonin and norepinephrine. This has provided an animal model of MAOA deficiency in humans, a condition characterized by borderline mental retardation and impulsive aggression.

Vasculitis, Atherosclerosis, and Altered HDL Composition in Heme-Oxygenase-1-Knockout Mice

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
To elucidate roles of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cardiovascular system, we have analyzed one-year-old HO-1-knockout mice. Homozygous HO-1-knockout mice had severe aortitis and coronary arteritis with mononuclear cellular infiltration and fatty streak ...

Significance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Inhibition by Imidapril for Prevention of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor–Knockout Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
To clarify the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 inhibitory effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in vivo, we evaluated the effect of an ACE inhibitor against elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression in mice ...

Non-catalytic Roles of Tet2 Are Essential to Regulate Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Homeostasis [PDF]

, 2019
The Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes regulate gene expression by promoting DNA demethylation and partnering with chromatin modifiers. TET2, a member of this family, is frequently mutated in hematological disorders.

Rab11a is required for apical protein localisation in the intestine

Biology Open, 2014
The small GTPase Rab11 plays an important role in the recycling of proteins to the plasma membrane as well as in polarised transport in epithelial cells and neurons. We generated conditional knockout mice deficient in Rab11a.
