Totipotency in the mouse [PDF]
In mammals, the unicellular zygote starts the process of embryogenesis and differentiates into all types of somatic cells, including both fetal and extraembryonic lineages-in a highly organized manner to eventually give rise to an entire multicellular organism comprising more than 200 different tissue types.

Large scientific projects in genomics and astronomy are influential not because they answer any single question but because they enable investigation of continuously arising new questions from the same data-rich sources. Advances in automated mapping of the brain's synaptic connections (connectomics) suggest that the complicated circuits underlying ...

AbstractIn this paper we describe the existence and consequences of subspecific and individual variation in the genetic make-up of house mice. The purpose is to illustrate forms of variation that are often neglected in discussions about animal care and experimental design. Towards this end, different inbred mouse strains as well as genetically selected

The role of cathepsin B, a lysosomal protease implicated in amyloid-beta (Abeta1-42) metabolism, in Alzheimer's disease remains controversial. In this issue of Neuron, Mueller-Steiner et al. manipulate the expression of cathepsin B in aged APP transgenic mice, observing that increased expression degrades preformed oligomeric and fibrillar amyloid ...

Contrasting mechanisms of penile urethral formation in mouse and human. [PDF]
This paper addresses the developmental mechanisms of formation of the mouse and human penile urethra and the possibility that two disparate mechanisms are at play.

The hGFAP-driven conditional TSPO knockout is protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
The mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) has been implicated in CNS diseases. Here, we sought to determine the specific role of TSPO in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most studied animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Mouse versus Rat: Profound Differences in Meiotic Regulation at the Level of the Isolated Oocyte [PDF]
Cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEO), denuded oocytes (DO), or dissected follicles were obtained 44–48 hr after priming immature mice (20–23 days old) with 5 IU or immature rats (25–27 days old) with 12.5 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin, and exposed ...

Comparative analysis of transposed element insertion within human and mouse genomes reveals Alu's unique role in shaping the human transcriptome [PDF]
Background: Transposed elements (TEs) have a substantial impact on mammalian evolution and are involved in numerous genetic diseases. We compared the impact of TEs on the human transcriptome and the mouse transcriptome.
