✦ Synopsis

Evidence is accumulating which suggests that the vertebrate Hox homeobox gene family plays an important role in pattern formation, particularly in the specification of regional diversity. In the last year important advances in the understanding of their regulation and function have been provided using transgenic mice.

Ca(v)2.1 (P/Q-type) voltage-gated calcium channels play an important role in neurotransmitter release at many brain synapses and at the neuromuscular junction. Mutations in the CACNA1A gene, encoding the pore forming alpha(1) subunit of Ca(v)2.1 channels, are associated with a wide spectrum of neuro

## Abstract In many remodeling tissues, such as the heart, collagen degradation to provide new integrin‐binding sites is required for survival. However, complete loss of integrin signaling due to disconnection from extracellular matrix (ECM) leads to apoptosis and dilatation. To test the hypothesis

## Abstract Cux‐1 is a member of a family of homeobox genes structurally related to Drosophila Cut. Mammalian Cut proteins function as transcriptional repressors of genes specifying terminal differentiation in multiple cell lineages. In addition, mammalian Cut proteins serve as cell‐cycle‐dependent

## Abstract Astrocytes are thought to exert diverse functions in the brain, but it has been difficult to prove this __in vivo__ because of a scarcity of tools to manipulate these cells. Here, we report the generation of new transgenic mouse lines that allow for conditional gene ablation in astrocyt
