Tamoxifen in the mouse brain: Implications for fate-mapping studies using the tamoxifen-inducible Cre-loxP system
The tamoxifen-inducible Cre-loxP system is widely used to overcome gene targeting pre-adult lethality, to modify a specific cell population at desired time-points, and to visualize and trace cells in fate-mapping studies. In this study we focused on tamoxifen degradation kinetics, because for all ge...
