Functional Genomics for the Identification of Modulators of Platelet-Dependent Thrombus Formation
Despite the absence of the genome in platelets, transcription profiling provides important insights into platelet function and can help clarify abnormalities in platelet disorders.

Factors Affecting Production Efficiency of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Transgenic Mice
ObjectiveBy comparing some key factors in generating bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice, such as the background of strains, the concentration of the BAC DNA used for injection, the size of the BAC DNA, and the storage time of the BAC ...

Nerve terminal degeneration is independent of muscle fiber genotype in SOD1 mice. [PDF]
Motor neuron degeneration in SOD1(G93A) transgenic mice begins at the nerve terminal. Here we examine whether this degeneration depends on expression of mutant SOD1 in muscle fibers.Hindlimb muscles were transplanted between wild-type and SOD1(G93A ...

Transgenic mice expressing exon 1 of the human Huntington’s disease (HD) gene carrying a 141–157 CAG repeat (line R6/2) develop a progressive neurological phenotype with motor symptoms resembling those seen in HD. We have characterized the motor deficits

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Label free visualization of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease with polarization-sensitive photoacoustic Mueller matrix tomography [PDF]
The formation of amyloid plaques in the cortical and hippocampal brain regions caused by abnormal deposition of extracellular amyloid \b{eta}-protein (A\b{eta}) is a characteristic pathological hallmark of early Alzheimer's disease (AD), while label-free graphic rendering of diseased amyloid plaques in vivo is still a highly challenging task.

ADAM30 Downregulates APP-Linked Defects Through Cathepsin D Activation in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Although several ADAMs (A disintegrin-like and metalloproteases) have been shown to contribute to the amy-loid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, the full spectrum of metalloproteases involved in this metabolism remains to be established. Transcriptomic analyses centred on metalloprotease genes unraveled a 50% decrease in ADAM30 expression that ...

Human Apolipoprotein B Transgenic Mice Generated with 207- and 145-Kilobase Pair Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes. Evidence that a distant 5'-element confers appropriate transgene expression in the intestine [PDF]
We reported previously that ~80-kilobase pair (kb) P1 bacteriophage clones spanning either the human or mouse apoB gene (clones p158 and p649, respectively) confer apoB expression in the liver of transgenic mice, but not in the intestine. We hypothesized

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 ...
