Researchers have created genome-wide, high-resolution genetic maps of 100 inbred mouse strains. Compared with wild-derived strains, most of today's classical lab strains have limited genetic diversity ...

(Reuters) - Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that ...

For pet and lab mice, running wheels are a common feature, often used to encourage exercise. However, some scientists have argued that mice only run on these wheels because they live in cages and that ...

It’s a new way to create “bi-paternal” mice that can survive to adulthood—but human applications are still a long way off.

Imagine if researchers could program stem cells, which have the potential to grow into all cell types in the body, so that they could generate an entire human organ.... In what seems like the ...

In order to do so, however, they first needed to create a small, transparent window into the skulls of lab mice. They then trained the tool on the direct cranial opening after providing their test ...

Lacking the ability to study the process in lab animals, it restricted telomere-aging research to isolated human cells in a petri dish. “This mice model is very different, in watching a whole ...
