It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically modified rodent ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they expected skittish, fragile animals to struggle. Instead, the mice rapidly shed ...

Dozens of laboratory mice allowed to roam a large outdoor enclosure returned to a typical level of mouse anxiety after just one week, researchers observed, suggesting that 'rewilding' may prevent ...

This year could mark a turning point for one of science’s most familiar animals: the laboratory mouse. For decades, mice and ...

Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his research career. Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist's team began noticing that sometimes, when they placed an ...

New research suggests that the commonly used ‘lab mouse’ may display behaviors entirely distinct from their wild-derived counterparts, prompting new considerations for the future of animal-based ...

When we humans encounter an unconscious person, we might spring into action and try to revive them. Well, a new study in the journal Science hints that lab mice might do something similar. NPR's ...

New research suggests mice may exhibit revival-like behaviors to help unconscious mice recover faster. Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his ...
