We describe protocols for our mouse graft arteriosclerois (GA) models which involve interposition of a mouse vessel segment into a recipient of the same inbred strain. By backcrossing additional genetic changes into the vessel donor, the model can assess the effect of specific genes on GA.

A Technique for Human Skin Grafting in a Mouse Model

2025
This video demonstrates a method for grafting human skin onto an immunodeficient mouse with a suppressed neutrophil response. The method involves applying human split-thickness skin to the mouse's graft bed, sealing it, and covering it for recovery. Eventually, the human skin adheres to the mouse's skin, establishing vascularization and circulation, resulting in a successful skin xenograft.

Here, we present a protocol to generate tissue engineered vessel grafts that are functional for grafting into mice by double seeding partially induced pluripotent stem cell (PiPSC) - derived smooth muscle cells and PiPSC - derived endothelial cells on a decellularized vessel scaffold bioreactor.

To improve our knowledge of cellular and molecular neotissue formation, a murine model of the TEVG was recently developed. The grafts were implanted as infrarenal vena cava interposition grafts in C57BL/6 mice. This model achieves similar results to those achieved in our clinical investigation, but over a far shortened time-course.

(2022).This video demonstrates a surgical procedure to graft a vascularized muscle onto the brain surface following transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. The graft promotes new blood vessel formation in the ischemic region, enhancing oxygen and nutrient supply. Over time, the integrated muscle supports neuronal survival and aids in...
FAQs
Athymia limits the development of T cells, reducing a major component of cellular immune rejection. This creates an environment in which transplanted human or animal cells, tissues, or tumors can establish more readily than they would in an immunocompetent host. The model therefore supports in vivo observation of graft behavior while retaining other biological features that can influence outcomes.
The hairless appearance is a visible characteristic of nude mice, whereas reduced T-cell development provides the central biological basis for graft acceptance. Separating these features helps researchers interpret experiments correctly: the phenotype identifies the animal, but the altered immune condition explains why transplanted material can be studied with less cellular rejection. This distinction prevents appearance from being mistaken for mechanism.
Nude mice are immunodeficient rather than completely lacking immune function. Their residual host biology can still affect how grafted material grows, interacts with surrounding tissues, or responds to treatment. Consequently, findings require careful interpretation, especially when estimating responses that depend on a fully functioning immune system. The model is informative for selected questions but does not reproduce every aspect of normal host biology.
When human material grows in a mouse, the graft develops within a host from another species. This arrangement permits study in a living system, but species-specific differences may affect tissue interactions, tumor behavior, angiogenesis, metastasis, or treatment response. Results therefore provide biologically relevant evidence about graft performance without automatically predicting identical outcomes in humans or other original hosts.
Researchers can use the model to examine tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and responses to drugs in vivo. It also allows investigators to evaluate how transplanted cells or tissues behave while interacting with host tissues, rather than observing them only under controlled laboratory conditions. These outcomes connect experimental manipulation with biological processes that require a living environment.
A Nude Mouse Graft adds a living host context to experiments involving human or animal cells, tissues, or tumors. That context enables assessment of growth and treatment responses alongside interactions with host tissues, extending information obtained from more controlled laboratory manipulation. The approach is especially useful when researchers need to connect cellular or tissue behavior with tumor biology and therapeutic efficacy in vivo.
