Heme Oxygenase-1: A Critical Link between Iron Metabolism, Erythropoiesis, and Development by Stuart T. Fraser, Robyn G. Midwinter, Birgit S. Berger, Roland Stocker

“…This highlights the immediacy of the need for red blood cells during embryogenesis and for survival. Linked with this pressure is the necessity of the embryo to obtain and transport iron, synthesize hemoglobin, and then dispose of the potentially toxic heme via the stress-induced protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, encoded by Hmox1 in the mouse). …”

A Case of Pyriform Sinus Fistula with Respiratory Distress in the Neonatal Period by Noriko Hamaguchi, Hajime Ishinaga, Kazuki Chiyonobu, Hiroyuki Morishita, Kazuhiko Takeuchi

“…Pyriform sinus fistula (PSF) is an anomaly that can arise due to failure of involution of the third or fourth branchial cleft during embryogenesis. It can manifest clinically as sinuses, cysts, or abscesses in the neck and is common in childhood. …”

Nestin Reporter Transgene Labels Multiple Central Nervous System Precursor Cells by Avery S. Walker, Gwendolyn E. Goings, Yongsoo Kim, Richard J. Miller, Anjen Chenn, Francis G. Szele

“…We characterized a transgenic line that expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) specified to neural tissue by the second intronic enhancer of the nestin promoter that had several novel features. During embryogenesis, the dorsal telencephalon contained many and the ventral telencephalon few eGFP+ cells. eGFP+ cells were found in postnatal and adult neurogenic regions. eGFP+ cells in the SVZ expressed multiple phenotype markers, glial fibrillary acidic protein, Dlx, and neuroblast-specific molecules suggesting the transgene is expressed through the lineage. eGFP+ cell numbers increased in the SVZ after cortical injury, suggesting this line will be useful in probing postinjury neurogenesis. …”
