The ATM–BID pathway regulates quiescence and survival of haematopoietic stem cellsThe ATM motif was previously shown to phosphorylate the BH3-only BID protein, a pro-apoptotic member of the BCL2 family. Using transgenic mice expressing a phosphodefective BID, Gross and colleagues find that the ATM effect on BID prevents its transl...

Apolipoprotein E controls cerebrovascular integrity via cyclophilin AHuman apolipoprotein E has three isoforms: APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4. APOE4 is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and is associated with Down’s syndrome dementia and poor neurological outcome after traumatic brain injury and haemorr...

Nucleic Acids and Methods for Expression of the Rat FcepsilonRI beta Subunit, Which Plays a Critical Role in Allergy and the Immune ResponseFcepsilonRI is the high-affinity receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulin E (IgE), and plays an important role in the allergic response and inflammation. It controls the production of important immunomodulatory molecules, such as cytokines and histamine. This technology describes nucleic acids encoding the beta subunit of rat FcepsilonRI, as well as vectors and transgenic cells including suc...

Biosafety evaluation of recombinant protein production in goat mammary gland using adenoviral vectors: Preliminary studyThe production of recombinant proteins in the milk of non‐transgenic goats can be achieved by transducing the mammary gland with recombinant adenoviral vectors. However, this process involves several regulatory issues. The current study evaluates t...

Recurrent network activity drives striatal synaptogenesisNeural activity during development critically shapes postnatal wiring of the mammalian brain. This is best illustrated by the sensory systems, in which the patterned feed-forward excitation provided by sensory organs and experience drives the formati...

Transgenic Hspa2-Cre Mice for Studying Spermatogenesis and Male InfertilityHSPA2 is a member of the HSP70 family of heat-shock proteins that serve as molecular chaperones. Hspa2-cre expression mimics the spermatogenic cell-specific expression of endogenous HSPA2 within the testis, being first observed in leptotene/zygotene spermatocytes. Expression of the transgene is also detected at restricted sites in the brain, as occurs for endogenous HSPA2. Researchers at NIEHS...
