- Unique histological features of the tail skin of cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) related to caudal autotomy
Summary: The unique histological structures in derimis, subcutis and coccygeal artery of the tail skin are related to the caudal autotomy mechanism in the cotton rat.
- Dynamic nuclear envelope phenotype in rats overexpressing mutated human torsinA protein
Summary: A novel transgenic rat model displaying dystonia-like phenotypes and dynamic processes in NE pathology can become a useful tool for therapy development for dystonia and other related diseases.
- Non-invasive assessment of liver disease in rats using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging: a feasibility study
Summary: Multiparametric liver MRI was feasible in experimental rat models and imaging parameters correlated with gold standard histopathological assessments, especially characteristics of fatty liver disease.
- A lipidomics study reveals hepatic lipid signatures associating with deficiency of the LDL receptor in a rat model
Summary: An LDL receptor knockout rat model was generated which offers a new hypercholesterolemia model. A lipidomics analysis reveals hepatic lipid signatures associating with LDLR deficiency in rats.
