Novel mouse model of demyelinating disorder

eurekalert.org

In the Feb. 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Brian Popko and colleagues describe how mutation of a gene called ZFP191 leads to disordered CNS myelination in mice -- reminiscent of what is seen in human multiple sclerosis patients.

Novel mouse model for autism yields clues to a 50-year-old mystery

sciencedaily.com — “Early disruptions in serotonin signaling in the brain may contribute to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other "enduring effects on behavior," researchers report. The investigators previously identified genetic variations in children with ASD that disrupt the function of the serotonin transporter, which regulates the supply of serotonin. Now, they report the creation of a mouse model that expresses the most common of these variations.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Bone marrow transplant arrests symptoms in model of Rett syndrome

sciencedaily.com — “Medical researchers have used a bone marrow transplant to replace faulty immune system cells in models of Rett syndrome. The procedure arrested many severe symptoms of the childhood disorder, including abnormal breathing and movement, and extended the lifespan of Rett mouse models. Exploring the function of microglia deficient in the Rett protein scientists uncovered a completely novel approach to this devastating neurological syndrome.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Autism may be linked to abnormal immune system characteristics and novel protein fragment

sciencedaily.com — “Immune system abnormalities that mimic those seen with autism spectrum disorders have been linked to the amyloid precursor protein (APP), according to new research. The study, conducted with mouse models of autism, suggests that elevated levels of an APP fragment circulating in the blood could explain the aberrations in immune cell populations and function -- both observed in some autism patients.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Animal Model Sheds Light on Rare Genetic Disorder, Major Signaling Pathway

newswise.com — “A team of researchers from the University of Utah and Brigham Young University has developed a mouse model of focal dermal hypoplasia, a rare human birth defect that causes serious skin abnormalities and other medical problems. This animal model not only provides insight into studying the cause of focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH), but also offers a novel way to study a signaling pathway that is crucial for embryonic development.View full resource at newswise.com
