Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

This year could mark a turning point for one of science’s most familiar animals: the laboratory mouse. For decades, mice and ...

Technologies at the Advanced Rodent Transgenics Laboratory include genome editing design and implementation and transgenic ...

Humanized mouse models are essential for investigating human gene function; however, the complete replacement of mouse genes ...

Researchers at The University of Tokyo developed TECHNO, a two-step genome editing strategy that replaces entire mouse loci with human genomic DNA. The method integrates fragments over 200 kbp.

Researchers at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine recently made an important advance in neurodegenerative disease ...

This study created a method for correctly identifying the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath of healthy intubated mouse models using GC-MS. The development of a new breath-collecting ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

In the wild, a mouse or rat leads a precarious life. In the city, they dodge traps, poisons, and broom-wielding humans. In the countryside, they face owls, shotguns, and more poison. As Australia’s ...

A new study published in PLOS Biology suggests that a specific cocktail of dietary supplements may help alleviate behavioral ...
