A gene atlas of the mouse and human protein-encoding transcriptomes

TL;DR: In this paper, high-density oligonucleotide arrays offer the opportunity to examine patterns of gene expression on a genome scale, and the authors have designed custom arrays that interrogate the expression of the vast majority of proteinencoding human and mouse genes and have used them to profile a panel of 79 human and 61 mouse tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes

TL;DR: This work generated and analyzed gene expression from 91 human and mouse samples across a diverse array of tissues, organs, and cell lines to reveal insights into molecular and physiological gene function, mechanisms of transcriptional regulation, disease etiology, and comparative genomics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Antagonists Promote the Expansion of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

TL;DR: Mechanistic studies show that SR1 acts by antagonizing the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and AHR modulation as a means to induce ex vivo HSC expansion should facilitate the clinical use of HSC therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

cAMP promotes pancreatic β-cell survival via CREB-mediated induction of IRS2

TL;DR: It is shown that mice deficient in the activity of CREB, caused by expression of a dominant-negative A-CREB transgene in pancreatic β-cells, develop diabetes secondary to β-cell apoptosis, a novel mechanism by which opposing pathways cooperate in promoting cell survival.
