Abstract
Gene targeting in mice allows for a complete elimination of skeletal (striated or voluntary) musculature in the body, from the beginning of its development, resulting in our ability to study the consequences of this ablation on other organs. Here I focus on the relationship between the muscle and lung, motor neurons, skeleton, and special senses. Since the inception of my independent laboratory, in 2000, with my team, we published more than 30 papers (and a book chapter), nearly 400 pages of data, on these specific relationships. Here I trace, using Web of Science, nearly 600 citations of this work, to understand its impact. The current report contains a summary of our work and its impact, NCBI's Gene Expression Omnibus accession numbers of all our microarray data, and three clear future directions doable by anyone using our publicly available data. Together, this effort furthers our understanding of inter-organ communication during prenatal development.
