Abstract
Embryonic stem cells are useful to study the functional aspects of lineage commitment. In this study, we report that using the Cre/loxP system provides a useful tool for studying multifunctional proteins that are involved in stem cell differentiation, such as calreticulin. Calreticulin is a chaperone and a major calcium buffer of the endoplasmic reticulum and it functions during both adipogenesis and cardiomyogenesis. We used both a tamoxifen-inducible and cardiomyocyte-specific alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter-driven Cre/loxP system to study cardiomyogenesis, and a tamoxifen-inducible ubiquitously expressed cytomegalovirus promoter-driven Cre/loxP system to study adipogenesis. Both Cre/loxP systems mimicked the results previously observed using the calreticulin-null stem cell systems. Our results indicate that the tamoxifen-inducible Cre/loxP system is an effective and reliable tool to use for gene ablation in studies on functional aspects of stem cell biology.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
