Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological consequences of loss of plasminogen activator gene function in mice.

TL;DR: Direct evidence suggests a crucial role for the fibrinolytic system and its physiological triggers, tissue-type and urokinase-type (u-PA) plasminogen activator, in many proteolytic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Sertoli cell-selective knockout of the androgen receptor causes spermatogenic arrest in meiosis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cell-autonomous action of the AR in SC is an absolute requirement for androgen maintenance of complete spermatogenesis, and that sPermatocyte/spermatid development/survival critically depends on androgens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total inactivation of gamma-secretase activity in presenilin-deficient embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: The question of how proteins such as the β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP), Notch-1 and others can be cleaved in the plane of the membrane has challenged cell biologists and researchers into Alzheimer’s disease for some time and γ-secretase activity is considered an important therapeutic target.
