A new study suggests that psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, could extend lifespan. Researchers at the Emory ...
Psilocybin has slowed down the aging process in cells and mice. It may be able to scale up to humans and help slow diseases ...
Scientists in Austria are studying live human brain cells and comparing them to those of mice. Their findings raise questions ...
Would you get a one-time genetic modification such that you'd never have to take a GLP-1 drug for weight loss ever again?
Mouse models have advanced our understanding of immune function and disease in many ways but they have failed to account for the natural diversity in human immune responses. As a result, insights ...
Mice that live in human houses must have several characteristics to survive—they must be quick (and quiet) so as not to be seen or caught.
And even if mice are hallucinating, they have no means of communicating that experience to the human experimenters. "I think it's just an intuition that it's not going to work—that [a mouse ...
Researchers caution that moving from mice to human applications will require careful fine-tuning and perhaps new pharmaceutical tools, like an isoleucine-blocking drug.
Each mouse received 300,000 human cells; within a year, that number had grown to 12 million. The result was a group of Jonathan Frisbys that were much smarter than their buddies.
The mice with this genetic change developed symptoms similar to young humans infected with the virus causing COVID-19, instead of dying upon infection as had occurred with prior mouse models.
Tiny plastic fragments have been found in oceans, food, drinks, and even human tissues. We’ve only learned about them recently, but they seem to be a real threat to our health.
Those mice with the mutation paused for longer between sounds than mice without the mutation. The stuttering mice repeated the same sounds more often, too, much like humans who stutter.
