Polymixin synergistic novobiocin analogs for efficacious and safer treatment of Gram negative infections
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) containing outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria prevent penetration of antibiotics, making them ineffective against infections. Polymyxins, including colistin, bind LPS and disrupt the outer membrane and hence are…

aP2 knock-out mice
AP2 knock-out mutant mice were developed by Dr. Gokhan Hotamisligil at Harvard Medical School (Science. 1996 Nov 22;274(5291):1377-9). AP2, also known as Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 4 (FABP4), encodes the adipocyte FABP. It plays important roles in…

KRT14-Cre mouse line
Hemizygous Tg(KRT14-cre)1Amc/J (also known as K14-Cre) transgenic mice were developed in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew P. McMahon at Harvard University. The mouse strain harbors Cre recombinase under the control of human keratin-14 promoter, which…
