ITHACA, N.Y. – A new Cornell University study is the first to examine social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. The research, published in the journal BMC Biology, took lab mice and ...

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 ...

Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his research career. Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist's team began noticing that sometimes, when they placed an ...

Technologies at the Advanced Rodent Transgenics Laboratory include genome editing design and implementation and transgenic ...

Dozens of laboratory mice allowed to roam a large outdoor enclosure returned to a typical level of mouse anxiety after just one week, researchers observed, suggesting that 'rewilding' may prevent ...

When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into action and try to revive them. Well, a new study in the journal Science hints that lab mice might do something similar. NPR's ...

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 ...

Scientists stress out lab mice, a lot. Inducing chronic stress and anxiety in these furry critters is how scientists explore the bodily and cognitive effects of stress and discover anti-anxiety ...
