Variation in the cortical area map of C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mice predicts strain identity [PDF]
Abstract Background Recent discoveries suggest that arealization of the mammalian cortical sheet develops in a manner consonant with principles established for embryonic patterning of the body. Signaling centers release morphogens that determine regional growth and tissue identity by regulating regional ...

Geometric morphometrics defines shape differences in the cortical area map of C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mice [PDF]
We previously described planar areal differences in adult mouse visual, somatosensory, and neocortex that collectively discriminated C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred strain identity. Here we use a novel application of established methods of two-dimensional geometric morphometrics to examine shape differences in the cortical area maps of these inbred strains ...

Genetic variation in the Nr1d1 transcription factor binding site shapes metabolism-related protein networks associated with cognitive resilience in an Alzheimer's disease mouse reference panel. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Our previous work established the AD‐BXD mouse panel as an innovative model for studying the genetic complexity and heterogeneity underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we leveraged this model and proteomics approach to identify protein signatures linked to cognitive resilience in AD.

Efficient Derivation and Transcriptional Characterization of Mouse Extra‐Embryonic Endoderm Stem Cell Lines Generated by Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer [PDF]
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) holds great promise for regenerative medicine and agriculture, but its application is severely hampered by low efficiency, primarily attributable to aberrant epigenetic reprogramming. Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) have been successfully derived from cloned embryos, an in ...

Male and female behavioral variability and morphine response in C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and their BXD progeny following chronic stress exposure. [PDF]
Drug addiction is a multifactorial syndrome in which genetic predispositions and exposure to environmental stressors constitute major risk factors for the early onset, escalation, and relapse of addictive behaviors.

Chronobiology of alcohol: Studies in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mice [PDF]
Human alcoholics display dramatic disruptions of circadian rhythms that may contribute to the maintenance of excessive drinking, thus creating a vicious cycle. While clinical studies cannot establish direct causal mechanisms, recent animal experiments have revealed bidirectional interactions between circadian rhythms and ethanol intake, suggesting that

Generating embryonic stem cells from the inbred mouse strain DBA/2J, a model of glaucoma and other complex diseases. [PDF]
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos and are used primarily for the creation of genetically engineered strains through gene targeting.
