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 ...

Cerebral amyloidosis in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease : impact and therapy [PDF]

, 2003
Senile dementia is a diagnostic category that includes all types of cognitive and memory impairments that occur in the elderly. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which is characterized by progressive impairments in memory ...

Tau pathology is present in vivo and develops in vitro in sensory neurons from human P301S Tau transgenic mice : a system for screening drugs against tauopathies [PDF]

, 2015
Intracellular tau aggregates are the neuropathological hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and cases of frontotemporal dementia, but the link between these aggregates and ...

Production of transgenic mice

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.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

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.

The changing role of cell culture in the generation of transgenic livestock [PDF]

, 1999
Transgenesis may allow the generation of farm animals with altered phenotype, animal models for research and animal bioreactors. Although such animals have been produced, the time and expense involved in generating transgenic livestock and then ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
