Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Can humans regrow limbs? Researchers find SP6 and SP8 genes are vital for regeneration in axolotls and mice, creating a viral ...

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 ...

A human-specific NOVA1 variant changed mouse vocalizations, potentially providing insights into the evolution of language. Darnell said the switch to the new NOVA1 variant likely occurred between ...

A little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells and potentially could be used to treat solid tumors, according to a new ...

Some 254 million people live with a chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection that is often asymptomatic for decades, only to ...

Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in lab mice but then disappointed in humans. What would help is a non-invasive, ...

A fluorescent microscope image depicts the spatial pattern of an immunoreceptor (red) and its effector molecules (green) at the plasma membrane of a simulated T cell. Since its discovery in the 1990s, ...

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 ...

Hibernation can vary by species. Martin says some hibernators, such as ground squirrels, rewarm—or wake up from hibernation ...
