Macrophages Mediate Mesoscale Brain Mechanical Homeostasis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We investigated the role of infiltrating immune cells in sculpting the developing brain. Using Brillouin microscopy and active microrheology, we found microglia actively maintain tissue viscoelasticity. Moreover, colony stimulating factor one receptor (CSF1R)‐driven stromal remodeling alters brain mechanics in vivo. These findings link immune activity,

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.

Increased gene copy number of DEFA1/DEFA3 worsens sepsis by inducing endothelial pyroptosis. [PDF]
, 2019 Sepsis claims an estimated 30 million episodes and 6 million deaths per year, and treatment options are rather limited. Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (HNP1-3) are the most abundant neutrophil granule proteins but their neutrophil content varies because ...

Prospects for transgenesis in the chick [PDF]
, 2004 Research to develop a useful method for genetic modification of the chick has been on-going since the first demonstrations in the mouse in the 1980s that genetic modification is an invaluable tool for the study of gene function. Manipulation of the chick

Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]
, 2019 There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

NARFL Knockout Triggers Ferroptosis‐Driven Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.NARFL is vital for CIA and oxidative stress resistance. NARFL deletion in HPMEC cells, zebrafish, and mice is lethal and rescued by a Ferroptosis inhibitor. NARFL deficiency disrupted its interaction with CIA proteins, decreased aconitase activity, increased IRP1 activity, induced Fe overload, and led to ferroptosis and oxidative stress, resulting in ...
