Researchers have assembled the first reference genome for the Nile rat -- a kind of genetic template of this species that may be used for laboratory and clinical studies. The hope is that it will be ...

In Dr. Sergiu Pașca's research lab at Stanford University, the resident rats have clumps of human cells in their brains. Blow on a rat's whiskers and the human cells on the opposite side of its brain ...

Letting human brain organoids grow in animal brains could be an ethical new option for experimental studies of neurological disorders. Using this technique, scientists should be able to create new ...

In recent experiments, rat brain cells filled in for lost neurons in mouse brains, raising new possibilities for growing donor tissues across species. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Lifting mice by the tail is of animal welfare and scientific concern, but rat lifting methods are little researched, potentially differing from mice. Using an online questionnaire we explored ...

“Our results demonstrate that texture analysis can uncover minute retinal changes long before diabetic retinopathy becomes ...
