The evolutionarily conserved Delta-Notch cell-cell signal-transduction pathway regulates the determination of various cell fates, which are important for the morphogenesis and development of numerous organs and tissues in many vertebrates and invertebrates. The Dll1 gene was mutated by homologous r...

The important function of Eya (eyes absent) in eye development of D.melanogaster is well known, the function of its mammalian orthologs Eya1-4 is only partially understood. Yet, no phenotype for Eya2 and Eya3 in humans or mouse have been described. In our study we analysed new Eya-deficient mouse m...

BACKGROUND: The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved signal transduction pathway involved in embryonic patterning and regulation of cell fates during development and self-renewal. Recent studies have demonstrated that this pathway is integral to a complex system of interactions, invo...

It is unclear what role vision plays in guiding mouse behaviour, since the mouse eye is of comparably low optical quality, and mice are considered to rely primarily on other senses. All C3H substrains are homozygous for the Pde6b(rd1) mutation and get blind by weaning age. To study the impact of the...

A new mouse mutant arose spontaneously at the 5th inbred generation in a congenic C3H/He line. Since the mice suffered from anophthalmia or microphthalmia, we referred to this new mutant as eyeless (provisional gene symbol: eyl). The mutation follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance and...

The function of the SMC5-6 complex is less clear, but it has an important role in a variety of different DNA repair processes and in resolving recombination structures. Interestingly mutation at a highly conserved residue (Ser994) in the ATP hydrolysis motif in the SMC6 C-terminal domain, resulted i...

Members of the HMGN protein family bind to nucleosomes and affect chromatin structure and functions as transcription, replication and DNA repair as well as epigenetic modifications. Overexpression of Hmgn1 may be linked to the etiology of Down syndrome while underexpression may be linked to some leu...

Rapamycin extends life span in mice, but it remains unclear if this compound also delays mammalian aging. Here, we present results from a comprehensive large-scale assessment of a wide rage of structural and functional aging phenotypes in mice. Rapamycin extended life span but showed few effects on ...
