Approaches for timeline reductions in pathogenesis studies using genetically modified mice
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Although genetically modified mouse models have long been a powerful tool for microbiology research, the manipulation of the mouse genome is expensive, time consuming, and has historically remained the domain of dedicated animal facilities.

Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
, 1994 Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

Conditional expression in corticothalamic efferents reveals a developmental role for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in modulation of passive avoidance behavior [PDF]
, 2003 Prenatal nicotine exposure has been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive impairment, but the sites of action for these effects of nicotine are still under investigation. High-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)

Non-selective calcium channel blocker bepridil decreases secondary pathology in mice after photothrombotic cortical lesion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Experimental studies have identified a complex link between neurodegeneration, β-amyloid (Aβ) and calcium homeostasis. Here we asked whether early phase β-amyloid pathology in transgenic hAPPSL mice exaggerates the ischemic lesion and remote secondary ...

Generation of Transgenic Mice [PDF]
Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2009 AbstractThis unit describes detailed step‐by‐step protocols, reagents, and equipment required for successful generation of transgenic mice using pronuclear injection. The experimental methods and practical tips given here will help guide beginners in understanding what is required and what to avoid in these standard protocols for efficiently generating

Excessive growth hormone expression in male GH transgenic mice adversely alters bone architecture and mechanical strength [PDF]
, 2015 Patients with acromegaly have a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting that GH overexpression has adverse effects on skeletal architecture and strength. We used giant bovine GH (bGH) transgenic mice

Mice Transgenic for Baff Develop Lymphocytic Disorders along with Autoimmune Manifestations
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1999 The cause of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases is unresolved, although dysregulated production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family members appears to be important in many cases.

Human apoB contributes to increased serum total apo(a) level in
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2004 Background The Lp(a) lipoprotein (Lp(a)) consists of the polymorphic glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), which is attached by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein B (apoB).

Cthrc1 is a positive regulator of osteoblastic bone formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Bone mass is maintained by continuous remodeling through repeated cycles of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. This remodeling process is regulated by many systemic and local factors.We identified collagen triple helix ...
