Animal care personnel set up a breeding unit by placing one male and one female mouse in individually ventilated microisolator cages. Each breeding pair is offered rodent chow (NIH-31; Ziegler Bros., ...

Take some inspiration from this maze-solving robot mouse. It take the idea of a line-following robot, and makes it infinitely more cool. The tiny rover uses sensors to map out a physical maze.

The murine physiology laboratory has developed models that allow the evaluation of genetic interventions in cardiac function, response to load, inflammation, fibrosis and repair. The common strategy ...

Look for the sagittal suture – the squiggly line that runs the length of the skull – and note whether is it's completely fused. If it is, the remains are likely to be of someone older than 35.

The increasing use of tissue clearing techniques underscores the urgent need for cost-effective and simplified deep imaging methods. While traditional inverted confocal ...

Plans to give great apes personhood are long overdue - but they could set back animal rights for other species.

Dozens of rodents have been generated that model various aspects of ALS, like motor impairment or degeneration of motor neurons. No model recapitulates the human disease perfectly. By organizing ...

Wireless mice have become so inexpensive and reliable that, for most people, they’re a better option than a cheap wired mouse. After researching and testing mice for nearly a decade with ...

Animal behavior research is particularly relevant to the study of human behavior when it comes to the preservation of a species, or how an animal’s behavior helps it survive. The behavior of ...

This important study shows that sound exposure enhances drug delivery to the cochlea via outer hair cell electromotility acting as a "fluid pump". Although others have proposed that electromotility ...
