Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

Researchers are working to create the first strain of mice that's genetically susceptible to late-onset Alzheimer's, with potentially transformative implications for dementia research. Mice don't get ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

Researchers have identified a protein that links brain immune activity, metabolism, and amyloid clearance, suggesting a new ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically ...

The Tonks lab studied PTP1B inhibition in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. When PTP1B was deleted, as shown in the bottom row, the brain’s immune cells (green) were better at engulfing harmful ...
