The lab mice we use for genetic studies are not only closely related, but live out their whole lives in a sterile environment, so they don’t tell us everything we need to know about actual humans. The ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience. When you ...

Using CRISPR-based technologies, the MoDeL team introduces precise genetic modifications in mice, enabling researchers to uncover how mammalian genes maintain health and contribute to disease.

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 ...
