Human Factor H (FH) Impairs Protective Meningococcal Anti-FHbp Antibody Responses and the Antibodies Enhance FH Binding

mBio, 2014
The meningococcal 4CMenB vaccine (Bexsero; Novartis) contains four antigens that can elicit serum bactericidal activity, one of which is factor H (FH)-binding protein (FHbp). FHbp specifically binds human complement FH. When humans are immunized, FHbp is

Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

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 ...

Silencing Myostatin Using In Vivo Self‐Assembled siRNA Protects Against Cancer‐ and Dexamethasone‐Induced Muscle Atrophy

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 ...

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.

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.

Engineering Complexity: Advances in 3D Breast Cancer Models for Precision Oncology

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In vitro breast cancer models that closely mimic the complex biological and cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment hold strong promise for enhancing our understanding of tumor progression, immune system behavior, and resistance to therapies, which are essential for developing personalized cancer treatments. Abstract Engineered in vitro

HDAC inhibitor sodium butyrate reverses transcriptional downregulation and ameliorates ataxic symptoms in a transgenic mouse model of SCA3

Neurobiology of Disease, 2011
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-3. Previously, we prepared a SCA3 animal model by generating transgenic mice expressing disease-causing ataxin-3-Q79.

Multifunctional Neural Probes Enable Bidirectional Electrical, Optical, and Chemical Recording and Stimulation In Vivo

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Convergence drawing is used to create flexible, microscale, multifunctional fiber‐based neural probes. Optimized materials selection enables individual devices to perform neural recording, electrical stimulation, optogenetics, fiber photometry, fluid delivery, and voltammetric neurotransmitter detection in rodents.
