TL;DR: Mice created with a neuron-specific disruption of the IR gene showed increased food intake, and both male and female mice developed diet-sensitive obesity with increases in body fat and plasma leptin levels, mild insulin resistance, elevated plasma insulin levels, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Abstract: Insulin receptors (IRs) and insulin signaling proteins are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). To study the physiological role of insulin signaling in the brain, we created mice with a neuron-specific disruption of the IR gene (NIRKO mice). Inactivation of the IR had no impact on brain development or neuronal survival. However, female NIRKO mice showed increased food intake, and both male and female mice developed diet-sensitive obesity with increases in body fat and plasma leptin levels, mild insulin resistance, elevated plasma insulin levels, and hypertriglyceridemia. NIRKO mice also exhibited impaired spermatogenesis and ovarian follicle maturation because of hypothalamic dysregulation of luteinizing hormone. Thus, IR signaling in the CNS plays an important role in regulation of energy disposal, fuel metabolism, and reproduction.

TL;DR: A method of gene targeting that allows the inducible inactivation of a target gene in mice is presented, which uses an interferon-responsive promoter to control the expression of Cre recombinase.
Abstract: A method of gene targeting that allows the inducible inactivation of a target gene in mice is presented The method uses an interferon-responsive promoter to control the expression of Cre recombinase Here, Cre was used to delete a segment of the DNA polymerase beta gene flanked by IoxP recombinase recognition sites Deletion was complete in liver and nearly complete in lymphocytes within a few days, whereas partial deletion was obtained in other tissues This method can be used for the inducible inactivation of any other gene in vivo

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aflibercept is an effective treatment for AMD, with the every-2-month regimen offering the potential to reduce the risk from monthly intravitreal injections and the burden of monthly monitoring.
