Climate change has an impact on small mammals and some battle to survive. But some others have developed intriguing coping mechanisms to survive.
Studies have suggested that women using a particular kind of injectable contraceptive are more susceptible to HIV infection. Research in mice offers new insights.
We all know that stress can wreak havoc on your health but what does it do to your genes?
Mice possess a notable talent: they are excellent at making more mice. Their ability to reproduce at a breakneck pace is one reason they are often used as experimental research subjects. Thus, when Dr…
Despite killing a majority of people it infects, some patients survive the onslaught of Ebola virus. What gives them this resistance, ask Michael Katze, professor of microbiology, and colleagues from the…
Clues found in mice teeth have helped scientists recreate evolutionary history. Researchers were able to reproduce gradual…
A small molecule, which works by “tricking” proteins into binding with it, has been effective in stopping the growth of cancer…
At low temperatures the human body has a hard time. As the cold sets in, blood vessels constrict to maintain heat and some body parts – like fingers and toes – begin to suffer. Metabolism ramps up to fight…
Tests on mice show they are better able to re-synchronise their body clocks with regular exercise. The effect is more pronounced…
Female mice may hold the key to prevent Crohn’s disease found Michigan State researchers. The study found female mice have…
Targeting of specific cells has been found to reverse the effects of cancer on the immune system. In a study conducted by…
Mice have developed a single gene that allows them to avoid predators through their sense of smell. The gene, TAAR4, helps…
