Transgenic mice: beyond the knockout [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2011 Transgenic mice have had a tremendous impact on biomedical research. Most researchers are familiar with transgenic mice that carry Cre recombinase (Cre) and how they are used to create conditional knockouts. However, some researchers are less familiar with many of the other types of transgenic mice and their applications.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study reports an in vivo self‐assembled siRNA strategy that enables the liver to generate small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) tagged with a muscle‐targeting peptide (MSP) and naturally loaded with myostatin (MSTN)‐siRNA. These MSP‐tagged sEVs are systemically delivered to skeletal muscle, efficiently silence MSTN, promote muscle hypertrophy, and ...

Dysregulation of Na+/K+ ATPase by amyloid in APP+PS1 transgenic mice [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is comprised of extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular tau tangles, dystrophic neurites and neurodegeneration. The mechanisms by which these various pathological features arise are under intense

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1994 Transgenic mice are very useful for analyzing the functions of a gene either at the tissue level or at the whole body level. Here we describe the production of transgenic mice by the microinjection of DNA into the pronuclei of fertilized mouse eggs.

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Renal phenotype of Et-1 transgenic mice is modulated by androgens
European Journal of Medical Research, 2009 Introduction Activation of the endothelin (ET) system promotes inflammation and fibrosis in various tissues including the kidney. Male ET-1 transgenic mice are characterized by chronic kidney inflammation and renal scarring.

Pulmonary Carcinogenesis in Transgenic Mice
Experimental Lung Research, 1991 Use of genetically engineered mice offers a unique approach to identifying and investigating factors that may influence tumor development. We have used conventional histopathologic and ultrastructural techniques to characterize lung tumors in three lines of transgenic mice bearing an albumin enhancer/promoter linked to a mutated human H-ras gene.
