Abstract
The functional characterization of proteins during temporally constrained periods of mammalian development and disease is largely limited by the inability to rapidly and reversibly perturb their function. A new study addresses this challenge by directly comparing two targeted protein degradation systems in mice. These systems enable precise temporal degradation of proteins, offering unprecedented opportunities to study dynamic biological processes. Several technical components remain to be optimized, but these technologies promise to provide novel insights in vivo.
期刊介绍：
LabAnimal is a Nature Research journal dedicated to in vivo science and technology that improves our basic understanding and use of model organisms of human health and disease. In addition to basic research, methods and technologies, LabAnimal also covers important news, business and regulatory matters that impact the development and application of model organisms for preclinical research.
LabAnimal's focus is on innovative in vivo methods, research and technology covering a wide range of model organisms. Our broad scope ensures that the work we publish reaches the widest possible audience. LabAnimal provides a rigorous and fair peer review of manuscripts, high standards for copyediting and production, and efficient publication.
