First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...

Human Outer Ears May Have Evolved from Ancient Fish Gills, Study Finds
Human outer ears may have evolved from the cartilage in ancient fish gills, according to recent research. Gene-editing experiments demonstrated a genetic link between fish gills and mammalian ears, with findings suggesting this transformation dates back millions of years. Researchers tested genetic enhancers in zebrafish, mice, and lizards, uncover...

Mice VR Headsets Revolutionise Brain Activity Studies and Behavioural Research
Mice are now being equipped with specially designed virtual reality headsets, allowing researchers to study brain activity in immersive environments. Developed using affordable components, the "MouseGoggles" enable scientists to observe the mice's neural responses as they interact with virtual environments. The study opens new doors for understandi...

Study Reveals Sleep Disruption Could Increase the Risk of Autism in Children
A recent study from the University of North Carolina indicates a link between early sleep disruptions and a higher risk of autism in children. Sleep is crucial for brain development, and its disruption can lead to long-lasting behavioural changes. Research on young mice shows that sleep loss negatively impacts social behaviour, especially in those ...

Cancer Treatment in Mice With Radioactive Beam Could Open Up a High-Precision Technique to Treat Humans
A recent study reveals the first successful use of radioactive ion beams to treat tumours in mice. Scientists utilised carbon-11 ions to pinpoint treatment locations, offering real-time tracking capabilities. This advancement could lead to more precise cancer therapies, especially for tumours located near sensitive areas.

Placebo Effect Link Discovered With Previously Unassociated Parts of the Brain
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...

Scientists Make Mouse Skin Transparent Using Food Dye, Here's Everything You Need to Know
In a recent breakthrough, researchers led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, have developed a technique to make mouse skin temporarily transparent using a common food dye called tartrazine. By applying a solution of the dye mixed with water, scientists could observe the internal organs and blood vessel...
