 iTL released a study of the performance of their 'iTLb' BALB/c mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line for the creation of gene targeted, transgenic mice.   As the whitepaper presents, the iTLb cell line overcomes previous BALB/c limitations with high rates of homologous recombination and germline transmission.

-- Cell phone radiation may fight Alzheimer's... in mice

The possibility that cellular phones have an impact on human health has generally been viewed in terms of the potential to do harm, primarily by inducing or promoting the growth of cancer. But a study that will be published by the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease may turn that all on its head.
-- An autoimmune-mediated strategy for prophylactic breast cancer vaccination
 
Immunologically targeting α-lactalbumin, a breast-specific protein highly expressed in breast carcinomas but absent from nonlactating mammary cells, provides protection against breast cancer in mice. This strategy may protect women against breast cancer in their post–child-bearing years, when lactation is readily avoidable and risk for developing breast cancer is high.
 
--  UCSF transgenic mouse mimics Parkinson’s earliest symptoms
  
UCSF researchers have created the first transgenic mouse to display the earliest signs of Parkinson’s disease using the genetic mutation that is known to accompany human forms of the disease.
 
--  Novel Model of Depression from Social Defeat Shows Restorative Power of Exercise
  
In a study in a mouse model that mimics the contribution of social stress to human depression, an environment that promotes exercise and exploration alleviated depressive behavior in the mice. The beneficial effect of activity depended on the growth of new neurons in the adult brain.

Resources
 
--  Software for researchers
As research and technology has advanced in the field of genetics and animal models, there has been an increase in the need for time and cost saving software.  Below are a few options our staff and clients have found useful
 
 
 
Big Bench Mouse: Transgenic Mouse Colony Software
- JCMS : Jackson Laboratory Colony Management Software
Sequencher : DNA Sequence Assembly Software
 
 
Client Quote of the Quarter
"We made our own global knockout mouse,...it cost me 2 years and 5 times more money.  iTL did exactly what they said they would...I have argued with reviewers and program administrators that having these mice generated by iTL was the efficient way to go...you have proven me right"
