The language of science is one that is heavy with jargon, and rarely communicates well to anyone not well-versed in that field to begin with.

Where there are people, there are mice. This pretty well summarizes the millennia-old relationship between man and mouse. Few species have benefited from humans as much as the house mouse, Mus ...

Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic type of cell death that is induced by uncontrolled iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation and has important roles in disease. This Expert Recommendation article ...

Scientists working to unlock the secrets of de-extinction recently announced what they say is a turning point for the movement: the creation of transgenic mice with long, luxurious golden locks of ...

While many most attempts focus on microbial fermentation using yeast or bacteria, Kraig's transgenic organism approach uniquely positions the company to achieve greater biological complexity ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has been challenged by the limitations of virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to ...

For example, political leaders criticizing studies of “transgender mice” propagate misinformation, since these studies are actually of transgenic mice—those in which genetic material from ...

“It was amazing to me that so many organisms that didn’t really have the capacities for detecting luminescence would be luminescent,” he said. This curiosity led him to the hydrozoan Obelia geniculata ...

We investigated the immunotherapeutic potential of Poly6 combined with HBsAg vaccination against hepatitis B virus infection in C57BL/6 mice or an HBV transgenic mouse model. Results: In C57BL/6 mice, ...

Here, the authors describe a transgenic mouse model that reproduces cardiac AL amyloidosis and provides new information on the formation of AL amyloid fibrils.

Some α-syn mutations (e.g., A53T) in familial PD recapitulate the α-syn pathology in transgenic mice, which supports the importance of pathologic α-syn in driving the pathogenesis of ...
