Backed by new research findings, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have developed a new reporting system that will allow researchers across the United States to confirm the genetic accuracy of ...

When laboratory mice step out of their plastic cages and into real soil, their behavior changes so dramatically that it forces a rethink of what stress, health and even “normal” really mean. The story ...

New research suggests that the commonly used ‘lab mouse’ may display behaviors entirely distinct from their wild-derived counterparts, prompting new considerations for the future of animal-based ...

In biomedical research using mouse models, preparing pseudopregnant recipient females is a standard step in embryo transfer ...

In the world of biomedical research, the humble lab mouse is a superstar—it’s easy enough to rear in large quantities, shares a considerable amount of core biological processes with humans, and is ...

Blind people could one day regain their sight after lab-grown cells restored retinal function in mice, according to a ...

One of those genes encodes the enzyme DHDDS, part of the pathway that glycosylates proteins in higher cells. Retinitis pigmentosa from DHDDS mutations is called RP59. This is a recessive genetic ...

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have developed six lines of humanized mice that can serve as valuable models for studying human cases of COVID-19. According to their new study in ...
