For generations, laboratory mice have lived and died under fluorescent lights, their world reduced to plastic cages and standardized pellets. When researchers finally moved some of these animals into ...

Conventional laboratory mice housed under specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions are the standard model in biomedical research. However, in recent years, many rodent-based studies have been deemed ...

When postdoctoral researcher Matthew Zipple releases lab mice into a large, enclosed field just off Cornell's campus, something remarkable happens. The mice, which have only ever lived in a cage a ...

President Joe Biden’s former director of the National Institutes of Health said that the institutes never funded “transgender” mice experiments despite a litany of NIH projects detailing just such ...

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 ...

A new study finds that lab mice perform a suite of likely innate behaviors towards unconscious mice that help them revive faster. When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into ...
