New Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity Therapeutic Discussion Area Online Web Forums Planned
JAX® NOTES Issue 510, Summer 2008
As we mentioned in the Spring issue of JAX® NOTES, plans are underway for two interactive therapeutic area discussion forums to encourage researchers to share their experiences using JAX® Mice in disease research.
The first forum will cover the topic of JAX® Mice strain NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (005557), an immunodeficient model becoming increasingly popular in cancer, autoimmune, HIV-AIDS and other infectious disease research.
The second forum will focus on type 2 diabetes and obesity and the mouse models used to study these problems. If you wish to join one of these forums you will need to register, select a username and password, and agree to terms of usage.
If your interest is the JAX® Mice strain NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (005557), you can register by accessing www.jax.org/jaxmice/research/immunology/005557. When the type 2 diabetes and obesity forum debuts later this summer, you can register at www.jax.org/jaxmice/research/diabetes/type2.
Future discussion topics will include widely-used JAX® Mice strains in cardiovascular, cancer, and other disease research.
