ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) study

For years, research on Choroideremia has been limited by the lack of a viable animal model. For the last few years, Dr. Miguel Seabra has been working on bio-engineering a ?CHM Mouse?, and after many stops and starts, we are proud to say that, with help of funding from the CHM Research Foundation, this dream of a viable mouse model has come true! If you would like to read the full text of Dr. Seabra?s published paper on how he bio-engineered a CHM mouse, click on the link below. The paper is in .pdf format, so you will need Adobe Acrobat to read it. Note: This is a very technical article. Use this link to download the PDF file
