  • Murine gene mutations in human counterparts may be associated with a clinical illness different from the illness seen in mice. (medscape.com)
  • The scientists, led by Greg Hannon and his CSHL colleague, Scott Lowe, knew that completely deleting the p53 gene causes lymphomas to develop much sooner, and in a more aggressive, highly-invasive form, than lymphomas that develop when the p53 gene is present. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Gene targeting is now practiced routinely by thousands of scientists all over the world, enabling them to address the most complex and critical biological problems, including the causes and treatment of birth defects and many other disorders, such as cancer, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.

  • Pu, Wang, and colleagues then used gene therapy to replace TAZ, injecting an engineered virus under the skin (in newborn mice) or intravenously (in older mice). (ubigene.us)
  • Fibroblasts To rule out the possible contribution from cyclin A1 we crossed cyclin A2f/f mice with cyclin A1-null animals (Liu et al. (immune-source.com)
  • The CIDE null mice show decreased lipogenesis. (wikipedia.org)
  • In addition, the CIDEB null mice also have improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced hepatic fatty acid oxidation and whole body metabolism. (wikipedia.org)
  • While AND-34 is widely expressed in wild type mice, histologic analysis of multiple organs in AND-34 −/− mice is unremarkable and analyses of lymphocyte development show no overt changes. (molvis.org)
  • Homozygous hEGFR KI/KI mice are viable and live up to six months. (silverchair.com)
  • NSMCE2, a novel super-enhancer-regulated gene, is linked to poor prognosis and therapy resistance in breast cancer. (nih.gov)
  • There is no cure or specific treatment, but new research at Boston Children's Hospital suggests that gene therapy could prevent or reverse cardiac dysfunction. (ubigene.us)
  • TAZ gene therapy also prevented cardiac dysfunction and scarring when given to newborn mice, and reversed established cardiac dysfunction in older mice -- whether the mice had whole-body or heart-only TAZ deletions. (ubigene.us)
  • Simply scaling up the dose of gene therapy won't work: In large animals like us, large doses risk a dangerous inflammatory immune response. (ubigene.us)
  • Giving multiple doses of gene therapy won't work either. (ubigene.us)
  • Cranial imaging studies are challenging in CHARGE syndrome patients, but high-throughput magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in mouse models allow for the unbiased identification of neuroanatomical defects. (bvsalud.org)
  • However, these mice are growth retarded and show skin and hair defects similar to Egfr -/- mutants. (silverchair.com)
  • RESULTS: Trio exome sequencing has revealed a novel pathogenic compound heterozygous variant c.145A >T (p.Lys49Ter) and c.224_242del (p.Val85GlufsTer88) in exon 2 of the C12orf57 gene. (bvsalud.org)
