The mouse "tool box" for meiotic studies

Cytogenetic and Genome Research
T Ashley

Abstract

Besides availability, there are numerous advantages to using mice for meiotic studies: (1) techniques exist for enriching the population of spermatocytes at particular meiotic stages; (2) spermatogenesis in mice is highly synchronized and testis sections afford a highly accurate method of staging meiotic events; (3) knock-out mice provide a rich source of meiotic mutants. Coupled with antibody localization techniques these tools, singularly and in combination, provide multiple means of temporally and physically dissecting meiosis.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
