Jackson Lab plans to renovate an existing 3,500-square-foot facility on the Bar Harbor campus, expand capacity and meet growing market demand for advanced research mice.

Researchers at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine recently made an important advance in neurodegenerative disease ...

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 ...

Antibody therapies work in part by binding to Fc receptors, proteins found on immune cells that control key immune functions such as antibody-mediated cell killing and inflammation. Since these ...

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 ...

"This model is important because it is the first in the world to demonstrate the protective effect of the Icelandic mutation against amyloid pathology in animals," says Sasaguri. Using their new mouse ...
