Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) report that they have created genetically-engineered mice that could help accelerate anti-aging research. “This is the first mouse model with truly ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully created a type of mouse with a 100% functional human immune system and human-like gut microbiome. This 'humanized' mouse takes the guesswork out of ...

Alzheimer’s disease has long been the nightmare diagnosis that medicine could slow at best, not stop. Now a wave of ...

An article by Gina Kolata in the February 11 New York Times titled “Mice Fall Short as Test Subjects for Some of Humans’ Deadly Ills,” unleashed a maelstrom—from both those advocating alternatives to ...

Mice have been shown to experience an artificial sense of limb ownership, similar to the famous "rubber-hand illusion" in humans. "The rubber hand illusion is a staple of the study of body ...

A breakthrough treatment has allowed damaged retinal cells to regenerate themselves. The current research has been conducted on mice, but the pathways are the same in humans, which opens hope for a ...

A new study shows that giving mice the human version of a gene changes their squeak, suggesting some of the genetic underpinnings of language. People like to talk. We're unique in the animal kingdom ...
