TL;DR: In this article, kidney organoids were assembled from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and reassembled to reconstruct the structure of the human ureteric organs.

TL;DR: CBP +/- mice would be an excellent model for the study of the role of CBP in development and memory storage mechanisms, and studies with step-through-type passive avoidance tests and with fear conditioning test showed that mice were deficient in long-term memory (LTM).
Abstract: A mouse model of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) was generated by an insertional mutation into the cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) gene. Heterozygous CBP-deficient mice, which had truncated CBP protein (residues 1-1084) containing the CREB-binding domain (residues 462-661), showed clinical features of RTS, such as growth retardation (100%), retarded osseous maturation (100%), hypoplastic maxilla with narrow palate (100%), cardiac anomalies (15%) and skeletal abnormalities (7%). Truncated CBP is considered to have been acting during development as a dominant-negative inhibitor to lead to the phenotypes of RTS in mice. Our studies with step-through-type passive avoidance tests and with fear conditioning test showed that mice were deficient in long-term memory (LTM). In contrast, short-term memory (STM) appeared to be normal. These results implicate a crucial role for CBP in mammalian LTM. Our CBP +/- mice would be an excellent model for the study of the role of CBP in development and memory storage mechanisms.

••
TL;DR: It is reported that a sugar transport facilitator family member protein GLUT9 (SLC2A9) functions as an efflux transporter of urate from the tubular cell and is proposed to be renamed URATv1 (voltage-driven urate transporter 1).

••
TL;DR: Data indicate that MBD1 may tether the Suv39h1-HP1 complex to methylated DNA regions, suggesting the presence of a pathway from DNA methylation to the modifications of histones for epigenetic gene regulation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mitochondrial ROS suppress glucose-induced insulin secretion (GIIS) from beta-cells, and proposed that mitochondrial overwork is a potential mechanism causing impaired first-phase of GIIS in the early stages of diabetes mellitus.
