Hardware and methodology for targeting single brain arterioles for photothrombotic stroke on an upright microscope.
Investigators have begun to probe the role of individual surface arterioles in maintaining both the structure and function of cortical regions using vessel-specific clotting by in vivo photothrombosis after craniotomy in mice. To induce targeted strokes we describe a simple adaptation of a commercial upright Olympus BX51WI microscope, permitting light from a 532 nm laser to be directed into the...
متن کاملDirect production of XYDMY− sex reversal female medaka (Oryzias latipes) by embryo microinjection of TALENs
Medaka is an ideal model for sex determination and sex reversal, such as XY phenotypically female patients in humans. Here, we assembled improved TALENs targeting the DMY gene and generated XY(DMY-) mutants to investigate gonadal dysgenesis in medaka. DMY-TALENs resulted in indel mutations at the targeted loci (46.8%). DMY-nanos3UTR-TALENs induced mutations were passed through the germline to F...
متن کاملTeratogenic effects of azaspiracid-1 identified by microinjection of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryos.
Azaspiracid-1 (AZA-1) is a newly identified phycotoxin that accumulates in commercially important bivalve molluscs harvested in several European countries and causes severe human intoxications. Molluscan shellfish are known vectors for accumulation and subsequent transfer of phycotoxins such as brevetoxin and domoic acid through various trophic levels within food webs. Finfish can also accumula...
متن کاملMicroinjection of medaka embryos for use as a model genetic organism.
In this video, we demonstrate the technique of microinjection into one-cell stage medaka embryos. Medaka is a small egg-laying freshwater fish that allows both genetic and embryological analyses and is one of the vertebrate model organisms in which genome-wide phenotype-driven mutant screens were carried out (1), as in zebrafish and the mouse. Divergence of functional overlap of related genes b...
متن کاملConspecific injury raises an alarm in medaka
In the late 1930s, Karl von Frisch reported that semiochemicals released upon injury, act as alarm substances (Schreckstoff) in fish. In Ostariophysi species, club cells in the epidermis are believed to contain cues related to alarm substance; however, the function of club cells, primarily as reservoirs of alarm substance has been debated. Here, I describe an alarm response in the Japanese rice...
