Transplantation tolerance: lessons from experimental rodent models
Immunological tolerance or functional unresponsiveness to a transplant is arguably the only approach that is likely to provide long-term graft survival without the problems associated with life-long global immunosuppression. Over the past 50 years, rodent models have become an invaluable tool for elucidating the mechanisms of tolerance to alloantigens. Importantly, rodent models can be adapted ...
متن کاملDendritic Remodeling: Lessons from Invertebrate Model Systems.
Dendrites are the entry site of neural signals into neurons. Once formed, dendrites are not just the same in structure but rather are dynamically remodeled in vivo: some dendrites are pruned away, while others lengthen and branch out. Dendritic remodeling occurs not only during neural development, but also in mature dendrites under both physiological and pathological conditions, suggesting its ...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Emotional Behavior: Legal Lessons from Genetic Models
The past decade of neuroscience research has been dedicated to the elucidation of the genetic heritability of mental processes and the role of specific genes in their regulation. A long reluctance to tackle questions related to the molecular basis of behavior has been overcome; genetic technologies and approaches to the question have developed and expanded. Psychology, which historically belong...
متن کاملCardioprotective actions of cyclic GMP: lessons from genetic animal models.
Most common diseases and/or their consequences, including hypertension and susceptibility to endorgan damage, have genetic components. Contrary to hereditary mendelian diseases (where the existence of a rare mutation within a single gene usually dictates whether signs of the disease are present), the manifestations of common diseases correspond with what is defined in genetics as “quantitative ...
متن کاملLessons From the Mixed-Meal Tolerance Test
OBJECTIVE Mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) area under the curve C-peptide (AUC CP) is the gold-standard measure of endogenous insulin secretion in type 1 diabetes but is intensive and invasive to perform. The 90-min MMTT-stimulated CP ≥0.2 nmol/L (90CP) is related to improved clinical outcomes, and CP ≥0.1 nmol/L is the equivalent fasting measure (FCP). We assessed whether 90CP or FCP are alter...
