We determined the expression pattern of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) in the development of the mouse embryo using in situ hybridization and transgenesis. To define the sequences regulating TIMP expression, we generated transgenic mice that expressed the Escherichia coli beta - galactosidase gene under control of a 5' region of the mouse TIMP gene containing -2158 to -58 by upstream of the initiator ATG. 3, record 1, English, - transgenesis

L'introduction d'un gène étranger dans le patrimoine héréditaire d'un individu définit la transgénèse. Différentes techniques sont utilisées chez les mammifères pour y parvenir. Les deux premières ne permettent pas, à elles seules, de choisir l'endroit où le transgène s'intégrera. Il s'agit : (1) de la micro-injection dans l'œuf, qui permet d'introduire de grands fragments d'ADN exogène; (2) des rétrovirus recombinants défectifs qui permettent d'intégrer avec une fréquence élevée des fragments d'ADN dont la taille est cependant limitée par la place disponible dans la capside du rétrovirus. 3, record 1, French, - transg%C3%A9n%C3%A8se

Complex nanomolecules called dendrimers can be used to map circuits. Developed at the Michigan Molecular Institute (MMI) and sold commercially through its affiliate company Dendritech, dendrimers are nested molecular spheres. Each layer has a unique composition, depending on the dendrimer's function and--most critically for circuit design purposes--dendrimers are produced in discrete sizes. 2, record 2, English, - dendrimer
