Article Synopsis
- The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says kids should have a say in medical decisions that affect them, but sometimes doctors ignore what they want.

- The study showed that healthcare workers need to listen to kids more and respect their feelings to help them feel safer and more in control during treatments.
Phenotypic screening of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4-gamma receptor knockout mice.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun
October 2006
Using the mouse as a model organism in pharmaceutical research presents unique advantages as its physiology in many ways resembles the human physiology, it also has a relatively short generation time, low breeding and maintenance costs, and is available in a wide variety of inbred strains. The ability to genetically modify mouse embryonic stem cells to generate mouse models that better mimic human disease is another advantage. In the present study, a comprehensive phenotypic screening protocol is applied to elucidate the phenotype of a novel mouse knockout model of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4-gamma.
