A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent genetic epilepsy models. A report of the TASK3‐WG1B: Paediatric and genetic models working group of the ILAE/AES joint translational TASK force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Rodent models of epilepsy remain the cornerstone of research into the mechanisms underlying genetic epilepsy. Reproducibility of experiments using these rodent models, occurring across a diversity of laboratories and commercial vendors, remains an issue impacting the cost‐effectiveness and scientific rigor of the studies performed.

Rift Valley Fever Virus Is Lethal in Different Inbred Mouse Strains Independent of Sex

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus affecting humans and livestock in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The majority of human cases are mild and self-limiting; however, severe cases can result in hepatitis, encephalitis, or hemorrhagic

Autonomous Robotic Drilling System for Mice Cranial Window Creation: An Evaluation with an Egg Model [PDF]

2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Detroit, MI, USA, 2023, pp. 4592-4599, 2023
Robotic assistance for experimental manipulation in the life sciences is expected to enable precise manipulation of valuable samples, regardless of the skill of the scientist. Experimental specimens in the life sciences are subject to individual variability and deformation, and therefore require autonomous robotic control.

Investigating Motor Coordination Using BXD Recombinant Inbred Mice to Model the Genetic Underpinnings of Developmental Coordination Disorder. [PDF]

Genes Brain Behav
Core symptoms of human DCD modeled in BXD recombinant inbred strains of mice. Significant strain differences for all measures of motor coordination were found. Three significant quantitative trait loci and seven candidate genes for gait were identified.

Sexing Bones: Improving Transparency of Sex Reporting to Address Bias Within Preclinical Studies

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 5-13, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Despite knowledge that sexually dimorphic mechanisms regulate bone homeostasis, sex often remains unreported and unconsidered in preclinical experimental design. Failure to report sex could lead to inappropriate generalizations of research findings and less effective translation into clinical practice.

Susceptibility Analysis in Several Mouse Strains Reveals Robust T-Cell Responses After Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection in DBA/2 Mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen responsible for human community-acquired pneumonia. The number of antibiotic-resistant Mp strains is increasing; therefore, to develop novel therapeutics, it is crucial to precisely ...

Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Bone Loss in Rodent Models: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 198-213, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis has traditionally been characterized by underlying endocrine mechanisms, though evidence indicates a role of inflammation in its pathophysiology. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram‐negative bacteria that reside in the intestines, can be released into circulation and stimulate the immune system, upregulating bone ...

Placentophagia in Nonpregnant Nulliparous Mice: A Genetic Investigation [PDF]

, 1975
The genetic influence on the response of nonpregnant nulliparous mice to foster placenta was investigated. Two highly inbred strains (BALB/cBy and C57BL/6By), their F1 hybrids, a backcross generation, and seven recombinant-inbred strains derived from the

CRISPR applications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: From animal models to potential therapies

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene‐editing technology enables the rapid generation of animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has potential to be developed as CRISPR therapy for the long lasting genetic correction of causal mutations. Abstract CRISPR gene‐editing technology creates precise and permanent modifications to DNA.
