Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters (2017)
Journal Article

The bacterial Lux system is used as a gene expression reporter. It is fast, sensitive and non-destructive, enabling high frequency measurements. Originally developed for bacterial cells, it has also been adapted for eukaryotic cells, and can be used... Read More about Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters.

Hypothalamic over-expression of VGF in the Siberian hamster increases energy expenditure and reduces body weight gain (2017)
Journal Article

VGF (non-acronymic) was first highlighted to have a role in energy homeostasis through experiments involving dietary manipulation in mice. Fasting increased VGF mRNA in the Arc and levels were subsequently reduced upon refeeding. This anabolic role f...
