With millions of mice and rats in US labs alone, scientists can learn a lot of information from their scurrying test subjects ...

Scientists stress out lab mice, a lot. Inducing chronic stress and anxiety in these furry critters is how scientists explore ...

tens of millions of mice are studied as a proxy for the human brain in labs. They’re small, they breed quickly, and they’re relatively easy to genetically manipulate, making mice ubiquitous in ...

Highland deer mice and their lowland cousins ventured on a simulated seven-week ascent to 6,000 meters. By tracking how the mice responded to cold stress and progressively lower oxygen levels, the ...

To find out, Lu's group first induced liver inflammation and fibrosis in lab mice. They then treated those mice with a substance known as FDI-6 that blocks the protein produced by the FOXM1 gene.

Teams of mountaineering mice are helping advance understanding into how evolutionary adaptation to localized conditions can enable a single species to thrive across diverse environments.

Now, in a long-awaited study appearing in the Oct. 9 issue of Nature, scientists at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and collaborators tracked the health of nearly 1,000 mice on a variety of diets to ...

reports evidence that a synthetic vitamin K precursor can be used to slow the progression of prostate cancer in lab mice. Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men ...

New research from Cold Spring Harbor Labs shows that a compound related to vitamin K slowed the progression of prostate cancer in lab mice, offering a path for further study into one of the most ...
