Functional Integration of Different-Sex Gonad Transplants into the Adult Mouse Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis

Daniel R. Pfau, Monica A. Rionda, Evelyn Cho, Jamison G. Clark, Robin E. Kruger, Ruth K. Chan‐Sui, Vasantha Padmanabhan, Molly Bennette Moravek, Ariella Shikanov

This study transplants different-sex gonads into adult mice to assess their integration into the HPG axis, finding gonad- and sex-dependent gene expression patterns and steroidogenesis.

Smad4 is essential for epiblast scaling and morphogenesis after implantation, but nonessential prior to implantation in the mouse

Robin E. Kruger, Tristan Frum, Anna Sophie Brumm, Stephanie L. Hickey, Kathy K. Niakan, Farina Aziz, Marcelio A. Shammami, Jada G. Roberts, Amy Ralston

The paper shows Smad4 is not required before implantation but is essential for epiblast morphogenesis after implantation in mice.

Efficient generation of endogenous protein reporters for mouse preimplantation embryos

Daniel O’Hagan, Robin E. Kruger, Bin Gu, Amy Ralston

The paper presents two methods for generating endogenous protein reporters in mouse embryos: a split fluorescent protein approach and a V5 epitope tagging approach, each with distinct advantages for in vivo protein localization.
