Low testosterone and excess sugar could be a dangerous combination for liver health, a study in mice suggests.

Many readers will be familiar with Douglas Englebart’s 1968 so-called “Mother of All Demos”, in which he described many of the devices and technologies we would be using two or th…

Researchers have found evidence in mice that cannabinol, also known as CBN, can be habit-forming.

A cannabis-derived ingredient commonly found in sleep gummies may be more habit-forming than previously thought, with new research showing that repeated exposure caused tolerance and withdrawal symptoms in mice.…

With a tactile dongle for on-the-fly customization and a metal chassis, the Wallhack M-001 is the most fun I've had reviewing a gaming mouse in a long time.

A recent study in mice hints that a modified tapeworm medicine might help relieve painful lesions seen in endometriosis.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising difference in how male and female skin repairs and renews itself. By tracking individual skin stem cells in living mice for five months, researchers discovered that female cells work together in a highly coordinated…

Eating too much salt may do more than raise blood pressure. It could also harm memory and social behavior. In a new study, Japanese researchers discovered that a soy-derived compound called LPC70 helped protect mice from several damaging effects of a…

Researchers at Stanford University genetically altered mice to be able to receive and function with human brain cells.

Cleaning up mouse droppings can be hazardous to your health unless you do it the right way.

Scientists uncovered evidence that human blood cells may trace their origins back to single-celled ancestors that lived 700 million years ago.…

A drug combo widely explored for anti-aging may actually damage the brain, according to new mouse research showing severe loss of myelin and changes linked to “chemo brain.” Surprisingly, the damaged cells resembled those seen in multiple sclerosis,…

A survey of more than 300 mouse strains has found widespread discrepancies between how mutant mice are reported and their actual genetic make-up.…

Electrical signalling across distinct populations of brain cells underpins cognitive and emotional function. However, approaches that selectively regulate electrical signalling between two cellular components of a mammalian neural circuit remain sparse.…

Mammalian reproduction requires substantial immune adaptations to safeguard reproductive success and to ultimately shape the evolutionary trajectories of a species.…

There are around 100 genes or copy-number variations used in genetic testing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD)1,2. The established genes are protein coding, and the associated phenotypes usually extend beyond sociobehavioural traits seen in autism,…

The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain
