TL;DR: This work reports an inducible transgenic Cre mouse line, Frizzled 9‐CreER™, in which tamoxifen administration induces Cre recombinant, and shows that Cre is expressed in the developing hippocampal primordium, confined to the granule cell layer at P20 and further limited to the subgranular zone in the adult dentate gyrus.

TL;DR: A transgenic cre mouse line using the putative control elements of the Fzd9 gene will likely prove to be a useful tool for studying cortical and hippocampal development via activation or inactivation of interesting genes.

TL;DR: The findings that nociceptive circuits were specifically labeled by the Tau-LacZ transgene in developing spinal cord and DRG are presented and will provide a powerful genetic tool for studying the development of spinal nocICEptive circuits and the mechanisms of commissural axon guidance.

TL;DR: A transgenic mouse line where Cre is driven by the promoter of the Wnt receptor, Frizzled10, will be useful for the study of dorsal telencephalic development and conditional inactivation of target genes in the cortex and hippocampus.
