Their report, published May 10 in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that among more than a dozen different
lines of
mice developed around the world to mirror autism caused by mutations to the SHANK3 gene, Duke researchers are the first to create a
mouse in which that gene has been completely eliminated.
Despite the presumed virulence of the strain — experiments with
mouse lungs showed it produces 1000 times more bacteria in infected cells than do standard varieties — Valway says the number of TB cases that
developed were kept in
line with other typical outbreaks, which «shows that doing good contact investigations is important and preventative therapy works.»

mice, the new results showed that the immune system failed to fully
develop in bacteria - deprived fish, which also had diminished abilities to process nutrients and regenerate their intestinal
linings.

mouse genetic code, the team
developed a genetic
line of

line that enhances the efficiency of CRISPR - Cas9 mediated mutations.
We are
developing in vivo models for the disease in the
mouse, and in vitro models starting from human pluripotent stem cell
lines.
