All current smooth muscle cell (SMC) restricted Cre mice recombine floxed alleles in vascular and visceral SMCs. We generated a tamoxifen-inducible CreERT2 mouse, Itga8-CreERT2, and compared its activ
The ability of the Cre/lox system to make precise genomic modifications is a tremendous accomplishment. However, recombination between cis-linked heterospecific lox sites limits the use of Cre- mediat
