Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Also, currently there is an absence of a good behavioral paradigm which mimics major depression so we hope to develop one by applying chronic stress through forced swimming test, together with clomipramine, to male wild-type mice. However, the results were not on par with our assumptions as we presumed that the mice will develop depression-like symptoms after 7 days of treatment and we also did not manage to generate the viral vectors. …”

Focused array analysis of diabetic skin wound. by Ling, Wei Yin.

“…To understand the interplay among these players behind angiogenesis and discover possible therapeutic targets, a focused array approach employing real-time quantitative PCR technique was used to unravel the differential gene molecular profiles in the healing of chronic diabetic mice wounds compared to that of normal wounds. In vivo analyses using wildtype (+/+) and diabetic (ob/ob) mice wounds revealed many angiogenic factors and inflammatory mediators with altered gene expression patterns and levels leading to the chronic inflamed state of diabetic wounds. …”

The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

“…</p> <p>Together, the results indicate that neuronal activity has little effect on the onset of myelination but has effects on the g-ratio in deep cortical layer projection neurons in mice.</p>…”

The response of Pinus caribaea mor. var. Hondurensis seedlings to nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium fertilizers by Srivastava, P.B.L., Naruddin, Abang, Zainorin, B.Abang

“…For this purpose, seedlings were grown in plastic pots in soils collected from Bahau pine experimental area. These soils belong to Durian series and are generally poor in nutrients. …”

Mass spectrometry imaging highlights dynamic patterns of lipid co-expression with Aβ plaques in mouse and human brains by Huang, Helen Xuexia, Inglese, Paolo, Tang, Jiabin, Yagoubi, Riad, Correia, Gonçalo D. S., Horneffer-van der Sluis, Verena M., Camuzeaux, Stephane, Wu, Vincen, Kopanitsa, Maksym V., Willumsen, Nanet, Jackson, Johanna S., Barron, Anna M., Saito, Takashi, Saido, Takaomi C., Gentlemen, Steve, Takats, Zoltan, Matthews, Paul M.

“…To delineate the pathological correlations of distinct lipid species, we conducted a comprehensive characterization of both spatially localized and global differences in brain lipid composition in AppNL-G-F mice with spatial and bulk mass spectrometry lipidomic profiling, using human amyloid-expressing (h-Aβ) and WT mouse brains controls. …”

Enhanced restoration of visual code after targeting ON bipolar cells compared to retinal ganglion cells with optogenetic therapy by Rogers, J, Hughes, S, Ebrahimi, A, Allen, A, Storchi, R, Lindner, M, Peirson, S, Badea, T, Hankins, M, Lucas, R

“…Our data show that, while both approaches restore visual responses with impressive fidelity, ON BC targeting produces a richer visual code closer to that of wild-type mice. …”

Strong immune responses and robust protection following a novel protein in adjuvant tuberculosis vaccine candidate by Korompis, M, De Voss, CJ, Li, S, Richard, A, Almujri, SS, Ateere, A, Frank, G, Lemoine, C, McShane, H, Stylianou, E

Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are required to preserve glucose- but not incretin-stimulated β-cell connectivity and insulin secretion by Georgiadou, Eleni, Muralidharan, Charanya, Martinez, Michelle, Chabosseau, Pauline, Akalestou, Elina, Tomas, Alejandra, Yong, Fiona Su Wern, Stylianides, Theodoros, Wretlind, Asger, Legido-Quigley, Cristina, Jones, Ben, Lopez-Noriega, Livia, Xu, Yanwen, Gu, Guoqiang, Alsabeeh, Nour, Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Magnan, Christophe, Ibberson, Mark, Leclerc, Isabelle, Ali, Yusuf, Soleimanpour, Scott A., Linnemann, Amelia K., Rodriguez, Tristan A., Rutter, Guy A.

“…Whether mitofusin gene expression, and hence, mitochondrial network integrity, is important for glucose or incretin signaling has not previously been explored. Here, we generated mice with β-cell-selective, adult-restricted deletion knock-out (dKO) of the mitofusin genes Mfn1 and Mfn2 (βMfn1/2 dKO). βMfn1/2-dKO mice displayed elevated fed and fasted glycemia and a more than fivefold decrease in plasma insulin. …”

Contribution of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha to pathogenesis of sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by Raj Murthi, S, Petry, A, Shashikadze, B, Stöckl, JB, Schmid, M, Santamaria, G, Klingel, K, Kračun, D, Chen, X, Bauer, S, Schmitt, JP, Flenkenthaler, F, Gorham, J, Toepfer, CN, Potěšil, D, Hruška, P, Zdráhal, Z, Mayer, Z, Klop, M, Lehmann, L, Qin, Y, Papanakli, L, Spielmann, N, Moretti, A

“…The results show that Hif-1α protein and HIF targets were upregulated in left ventricular tissue of α-MHC719/+ mice. Cardiomyocyte-specific abolishment of Hif-1a blunted the disease phenotype, as evidenced by decreased left ventricular wall thickness, reduced myocardial fibrosis, disordered SRX/DRX state and ROS production. cHif1aKO induced normalization of pro-hypertrophic and pro-fibrotic left ventricular remodeling signaling evidenced on whole transcriptome and proteomics analysis in α-MHC719/+ mice. …”
