The Covid-19 pandemic has skyrocketed the demand for new strains of mice to help scientists understand the progression of the disease, test existing drugs, find new therapeutic targets and develop ...

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 ...

A new study has examined social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. A new Cornell University study is the first to examine social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. The ...

In the wild, a mouse or rat leads a precarious life. In the city, they dodge traps, poisons, and broom-wielding humans. In the countryside, they face owls, shotguns, and more poison. As Australia’s ...

The experiment that became known as the Elephant Man trial began one spring morning, in 2006, when clinicians at London’s Northwick Park Hospital infused six healthy young men with an experimental ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they expected skittish, fragile animals to struggle. Instead, the mice rapidly shed ...
