Tackling Tissue Macrophage Heterogeneity by SplitCre Transgenesis
Macrophages represent a broad spectrum of distinct, but closely related tissue-resident immune cells. This presents a major challenge for the study of functional aspects of these cells using classical Cre reco...

Cognate microglia–T cell interactions shape the functional regulatory T cell pool in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis pathology
Microglia, the parenchymal brain macrophages of the central nervous system, have emerged as critical players in brain development and homeostasis. The immune functions of these cells, however, remain less well...

CKIα ablation highlights a critical role for p53 in invasiveness control
In a mouse model of intestinal cancer, Yinon Ben-Neriah and colleagues show that in the absence of CK1-α, the loss of p53 dramatically enhances tumour progression and metastasis. The tumour repressor p53 norma...

Maternally expressed PGK-Cre transgene as a tool for early and uniform activation of the Cre site-specific recombinase
A transgenic mouse strain with early and uniform expres sion of the Cre site-specific recombinase is described. In this strain, PGK-Crem, Cre is driven by the early acting PGK-1 promoter, but, probably due to ...
