They used state of the art genetic mouse models to study different stem cells populations. (sciencedaily.com)
Hanks and colleagues, studying genetic mouse models of melanoma and verifying the findings in human specimens, focused on immune system messengers called dendritic cells. (sciencedaily.com)
Morgan Fullerton, lead author of the study, added: «Unlike the majority of studies using genetic mouse models, we haven't deleted an entire protein; we have only made a very minor genetic mutation, equivalent to what might be seen in humans, thus highlighting the very precise way metformin lowers blood sugar in Type 2 Diabetes» (sciencedaily.com)
