The different stages of the optic fissure can be clearly visualized by making sagittal sections through the mouse eye during early development which represent the optic fissure at open (E10.5), closing (E11.5) and fused (E12.5) states. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was employed to dissect tissue from the margins of the optic fissure consisting of the outer (presumptive RPE) and inner (presumptive neurosensory retina) layers of the retina.
Expression profiling during ocular development identifies 2 Nlz genes with a critical role in optic fissure closure.

View SamplesThe 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D metabolite (24R,25D) has long been suspected of participating to bone fracture repair. We used Cyp24a1-deficient mice, unable to produce 24R25D, to observe gene expression in callus tissue compared to that of control littermates.
Optimal bone fracture repair requires 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its effector molecule FAM57B2.
