Visualization of the Dynamics of Gene Expression in the Living Mouse by Amy Ryan, Heidi Scrable

“…Using this technology, we have determined the rate of gene induction and repression, the level of target gene activity in response to different doses of inducer, and the schedule of induction during early embryogenesis of both the endogenous and the experimentally manipulated programs of mammalian gene expression associated with the HD/Hdh locus. …”

Cardiovascular Development and the Colonizing Cardiac Neural Crest Lineage by Paige Snider, Michael Olaopa, Anthony B. Firulli, Simon J. Conway

“…Although it is well established that transgenic manipulation of mammalian neural crest-related gene expression and microsurgical removal of premigratory chicken and Xenopus embryonic cardiac neural crest progenitors results in a wide spectrum of both structural and functional congenital heart defects, the actual functional mechanism of the cardiac neural crest cells within the heart is poorly understood. …”

Alternative Cell Death Pathways and Cell Metabolism by Simone Fulda

“…While necroptosis has for long been viewed as an accidental mode of cell death triggered by physical or chemical damage, it has become clear over the last years that necroptosis can also represent a programmed form of cell death in mammalian cells. Key discoveries in the field of cell death research, including the identification of critical components of the necroptotic machinery, led to a revised concept of cell death signaling programs. …”
