I-54: New Models for Human and Mouse Genetic
The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...
متن کاملImprovement of Mouse &Thalassemia by Recombinant Human Erythropoietin
Homozygous 8 thalassemic mice received 50 U (1,660 U/kg) of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo) 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Hemoglobin increased from 9.2 2 0.6 g/dL to 10.5 f 0.4 g/dL (P = .002) and hematocrit increased from 29.2% f 0.9% to 34.1% f 1.9% (P = .0014). The p minor/a globin chain synthesis ratio increased slightly but significantly between day -4 (0.75 f 0.07) and day 4 (0.81 f...
متن کاملMouse models of human diseases
The value of the mouse as a model for human disease has become firmly established as new mutants are repeatedly validated as models of human disease and, increasingly, the similarities in the pathobiology of the two species provide new insights into disease mechanisms and aetiologies (Peters et al., 2007; Rosenthal and Brown, 2007; Justice, 2008; Brown et al., 2009). Mutant strains derived from...
متن کاملMouse models of human phenylketonuria.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) results from a deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase, the enzyme catalyzing the conversion of phenylalanine (PHE) to tyrosine. Although this inborn error of metabolism was among the first in humans to be understood biochemically and genetically, little is known of the mechanism(s) involved in the pathology of PKU. We have combined mouse germline mutagenesis with screens ...
متن کاملMouse models of human cancer.
The Helmholtz Alliance Preclinical Comprehensive Cancer Center (PCCC; www.helmholtz-pccc.de) hosted the "1st International Kloster Seeon Meeting on Mouse Models of Human Cancer" in the Seeon monastery (Germany) from March 8 to 11, 2014. The meeting focused on the development and application of novel mouse models in tumor research and high-throughput technologies to overcome one of the most crit...
