Role of Esrrg in the Fibrate-Mediated Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Human ApoA-I Transgenic Mice [PDF]
We have used a new ApoA-I transgenic mouse model to identify by global gene expression profiling, candidate genes that affect lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in response to fenofibrate treatment.

Antioxidant properties of HDL in transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II
Transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II (huapoA-II) display high VLDL and low HDL levels. To evaluate the antioxidant potential of huapoA-II enriched HDL, we measured the activities of paraoxonase (PON) and platelet-activating factor ...

Human apoE3 but not apoE4 rescues impaired astrocyte activation in apoE null mice
The allele E4 of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is an important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the chronic brain inflammation which is associated with AD is more pronounced in subjects who carry this allele.

Defective axonal transport in motor neuron disease [PDF]
Several recent studies have highlighted the role of axonal transport in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases. Mutations in genes that control microtubule regulation and dynamics have been shown to cause motor neuron degeneration in mice and in a ...

KSHV Latency Locus Cooperates with Myc to Drive Lymphoma in Mice.
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has been linked to Kaposi sarcoma and B-cell malignancies. Mechanisms of KSHV-induced oncogenesis remain elusive, however, in part due to lack of reliable in vivo models.

Demyelination and axonal preservation in a transgenic mouse model of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [PDF]
It is widely thought that demyelination contributes to the degeneration of axons and, in combination with acute inflammatory injury, is responsible for progressive axonal loss and persistent clinical disability in inflammatory demyelinating disease.
