Method to isolate and maintain skeletal stem cells stemness for bone regeneration and repair
­Background Large craniofacial bone defects, which are caused by various conditions, including trauma, infection, tumors, congenital disorders, and progressive deforming diseases, are major health issues. To date, the recommended procedure for skeletal repairs is autologous bone graft, a process by which bone fragments are harvested from one anatomic...

R26STOPrtTA Mouse Strain- a Unique System for Spatiotemporal and Lineage-specific Gene Expression
Applications: Inventor has developed an advanced method for conditional gene expression in mice that integrates the Cre-mediated and tetracycline-dependent expression systems. An rtTA gene, preceded by a loxP-flanked STOP sequence, was inserted into the ROSA26 locus to create a R26STOPrtTA mouse strain. When the STOP sequence is excised by...
