TL;DR: A set of Cre reporter mice with strong, ubiquitous expression of fluorescent proteins of different spectra is generated and enables direct visualization of fine dendritic structures and axonal projections of the labeled neurons, which is useful in mapping neuronal circuitry, imaging and tracking specific cell populations in vivo.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice bearing the cellular myc oncogene coupled to the immunoglobulin μ or κ enhancer frequently develop a fatal lymphoma within a few months of birth and constitutive c-myc expression appears to be highly leukaemogenic at several stages of B-cell maturation.

TL;DR: It is shown that following temporary food restriction, CB1 receptor knockout mice eat less than their wild-type littermates, and the CB1 antagonist SR141716A reduces food intake in wild- type but not knockout mice, which indicates that endocannabinoids in the hypothalamus may tonically activate CB1 receptors to maintain food intake and form part of the neural circuitry regulated by leptin.

TL;DR: A DNA fragment containing the promoter of the mouse metallothionein-I gene fused to the structural gene of rat growth hormone was microinjected into the pronuclei of fertilized mouse eggs, and seven mice developed that carried the fusion gene and six of these grew significantly larger than their littermates.
