Cardinal regenerative features of the MRL mouse
PublicationIn this review, we discuss recent studies relating to major features of adult MRL mouse biology that contribute to the regenerative responses seen. These include an increased inflammatory cell profile, a unique glycolytic metabolic state typically found during embryogenesis, and a cell cycle phenotype of DNA damage and G2/M arrest. These traits have been found in other mammalian and non-mammalian regenerative systems. How these...

Sequence variants of p21 gene of the MRL/MpJ mouse: a possible association with the deficit of p21 protein and regenerative phenotype.
PublicationThe MRL/MpJ mouse is known for its enhanced regeneration abilities that manifested themselves by scarless ear-hole wound closure. The deficit of p21 found in the MRL is associated with the regenerative capacity as the p21 gene knockout in a mouse strain unrelated to the MRL mouse results in an ear-hole closure effect, similar to that observed in the MRL mouse. Cdkn1a gene encodes p21 protein, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor,...
