Journal ArticleDOI

p53 Activation by Knockdown Technologies

TL;DR: It is shown here that MO off-targeting results in induction of a p53-dependent cell death pathway, and p53 inhibition could potentially be applicable to other systems to suppress off- target effects caused by other knockdown technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct requirements for zebrafish angiogenesis revealed by a VEGF-A morphant.

TL;DR: The zebrafish serves as a quality model for the study of conserved vertebrate angiogenesis processes during embryonic development and demonstrates a fundamental distinction between VEGF‐A requirements for axial and intersegmental vascular structure specification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphant technology in model developmental systems

TL;DR: Morpholino phosphorodiamidate oligonucleotides are synthetic DNA analogues with some highly favorable properties as in vivo gene targeting tools and are now being used for functional genomics applications, particularly in systems not amenable to standard genetic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moesin1 and Ve-cadherin are required in endothelial cells during in vivo tubulogenesis.

TL;DR: In vivo imaging of living zebrafish embryos expressing fluorescent fusion proteins of β-Actin, α-Catenin, and the ERM family member Moesin1 is used to define a novel cord hollowing process that occurs during the initial stages of tubulogenesis in intersegmental vessels (ISVs) in the embryo.
