Generation of Fad2 and Fad3 transgenic mice that produce n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [PDF]

Open Biology, 2019
Linoleic acid (18 : 2, n-6) and α-linolenic acid (18 : 3, n-3) are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are essential for mammalian health, development and growth.

Reduced body weight and increased energy expenditure in transgenic mice over-expressing soluble leptin receptor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Soluble leptin receptor (OBRe), one of several leptin receptor isoforms, is the only bona fide leptin binding protein in plasma. Our earlier studies demonstrated that OBRe modulates leptin levels in circulation.

Functional Genomics for the Identification of Modulators of Platelet-Dependent Thrombus Formation

TH Open, 2018
Despite the absence of the genome in platelets, transcription profiling provides important insights into platelet function and can help clarify abnormalities in platelet disorders.

Antioxidant properties of HDL in transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
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 ...

The behavioural and neuropathologic sexual dimorphism and absence of MIP-3α in tau P301S mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Tau hyper-phosphorylation has been considered a major contributor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related tauopathies, and has gained prominence in therapeutic development for AD.

Factors Affecting Production Efficiency of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Transgenic Mice

Shiyan dongwu yu bijiao yixue, 2021
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 ...

KSHV Latency Locus Cooperates with Myc to Drive Lymphoma in Mice.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
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.

Human apoE3 but not apoE4 rescues impaired astrocyte activation in apoE null mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003
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.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make
