Knockout Mice: Is It Just Genetics? Effect of Enriched Housing on Fibulin-4(+/−) Mice
BACKGROUND: Fibulin-4 is an extracellular matrix protein expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells that is essential for maintaining arterial integrity. Fibulin-4(−/−) mice die just before birth due to arterial hemorrhage, but fibulin-4(+/−) mice appear to be outwardly normal. Experiments were there...
