Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs)2-9 knockout mice exhibit reduced wakefulness and disrupted REM sleep by Sunmee Park, Jasmine Heu, Gavin Scheldrup, Ryan K. Tisdale, Yu Sun, Meghan Haire, Shun-Chieh Ma, Marius C. Hoener, Thomas S. Kilduff

“…IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the role of TAAR2-9 in sleep/wake regulation, given TAAR1's known involvement in modulating neurotransmitter release and sleep patterns.MethodsMale TAAR2-9 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were compared using baseline sleep/wake patterns, responses to sleep deprivation, effects of TAAR1 agonists, and dopaminergic markers. EEG recordings and tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry were used for analysis.ResultsKO mice exhibited lower delta and theta power and higher gamma power, with fragmented sleep characterized by 16% more NREM sleep during the dark phase and 23% more REM sleep during the light phase compared to WT mice. …”

Clonal Populations of Amniotic Cells by Dilution and Direct Plating: Evidence for Hidden Diversity by Patricia G. Wilson, Lorna Devkota, Tiffany Payne, Laddie Crisp, Allison Winter, Zhan Wang

“…The differentiation potential of amniotic cells proved to be uncoupled from expression of definitive cell surface or cytoplasmic markers for stromal and epithelial cells. Evidence for diversity among stromal and epithelial cells in amniotic fluid bears on interpretations applied to molecular and functional tests of amniotic cell populations.…”
