Common chemical linked to rare birth defect in mice
A chemical commonly used in consumer and agricultural products to boost the effectiveness of insecticides has been linked to a […]
» Read moreHuman-made toxic chemicals that linger indefinitely in the environment disrupt the performance of critical helper cells in the mouse brain, […] Due to strain-specific behavioral idiosyncrasies, inbred mouse strains are suboptimal research models for behavioral aging studies. The researchers found that […] Female mice housed alone during adolescence show atypical development of the prefrontal cortex and resort to habitual behavior in adulthood, […] The amount of antibiotics entering the River Thames would need to be cut by as much as 80 per cent […] Low doses of radiation equivalent to three CT scans, which are considered safe, give cancer-capable cells a competitive advantage over […] Commensal gut microbes stimulate antiviral signals in non-immune lung cells to protect against the flu virus during early stages of […] Making a specific type of brain pattern last longer improves short-term memory in rats, a new study finds. Published online […] Standing up from a chair, climbing stairs, brushing one’s hair—all can be a struggle for people with a rare form […] Existing electrophysiological and fluorescence-based brain imaging techniques in mice are generally invasive, require head fixes or cables, and are not […]
