Cre-ating Somatic Cell Genetic Mosaics in the Mouse
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generation of somatic mosaics in which mutant cell clones are uniquely and completely labeled has yielded considerable insight into many biological processes in Drosophila. In this issue of Cell, describe a novel method called MADM that allows the generation of such mosaics in mice.

P-115: Melatonin Increases Developmental Rate of In Vitro Mouse Somatic Cell Nuclear
Background: The beneficial effect of supplementing culture medium with melatonin has been reported during in vitro embryo development of species such as mouse, bovine and porcine. However, the effect of melatonin on the mouse somatic cell nuclear transfer remained unknown. Materials and Methods: In this study, we assessed the effects of various concentrations of melatonin (10-6 to 10-12 M) on t...
متن کاملI-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 کاملAnalysis of mouse eye development with chimeras and mosaics.
Analysis of experimental mouse chimeras (chimaeras) and mosaics provides a means of investigating patterning and differentiation within the developing mammalian eye. Chimeric and mosaic mice carry two or more genetically distinct cell populations and extend the repertoire of analytical tools available to the geneticist. Here we review the impact these techniques have had on our understanding of...
متن کاملConditional somatic mutagenesis in the mouse using site-specific recombinases.
In the last decade, site-specific recombinases (SSRs), such as Cre and Flp, have emerged as indispensable tools for the precise in vivo manipulation of the mouse genome. It is now feasible to control, in space and time, the onset of gene knockouts in almost any tissue of the mouse, thus greatly facilitating the creation of sophisticated animal models for human disease and drug development. This...
متن کاملO-3: Effect of Melatonin Treatment on Developmental Potential of Somatic Cell Nuclear- Transferred Mouse Oocytes In Vitro
Background Melatonin (N-acetyl-5- methoxytryptamine) is mainly synthesized and secreted in the pineal gland, ovary, testes, bone marrow, retina and lens in mammalian species. It is involved in the detoxification of ROS and protects embryos from oxidative damage. Melatonin acts as a potential free radical scavenger, including peroxyl radical and hydroxyl radical. In addition, it can stimulate th...
