Human Brain In Mice

Patients suffering from chronic pain have limited treatment options, often relying on medications like opioids that come with harmful side effects and high addiction risks. A new study in mice, published in Current Biology journal, suggests a new way to use the placebo effect for treating chronic pain. By activating specific neurons in the brain li...

Researchers have introduced modern human variants in mice. The six amino acid positions are the same in both mice and Neanderthals. It was found that three modern human amino acids in two of the proteins cause a longer metaphase, a phase where chromosomes are prepared for cell division, and this results in fewer errors when the chromosomes are dist...

In a first, US scientists have grown miniature human brains or human brain organoids, in the skulls of mice, a breakthrough that could boost stem cell research as well as provide insight into neurological disorders such as autism, dementia, and schizophrenia.

An antibody produced by the human body shielded unborn mice against Zika, a study said on Monday, raising hopes for thwarting the virus known to cause brain damage in human foetuses.
