Researchers at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine recently made an important advance in neurodegenerative disease ...
Genetically altered mice are valuable tools in biomedical research. The Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center, located at UC Davis and supported by a grant from NIH, has been providing a national ...
Scientists have developed six lines of humanized mice that can serve as valuable models for studying human cases of COVID-19. Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have developed six ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
This year could mark a turning point for one of science’s most familiar animals: the laboratory mouse. For decades, mice and ...
One of those genes encodes the enzyme DHDDS, part of the pathway that glycosylates proteins in higher cells. Retinitis pigmentosa from DHDDS mutations is called RP59. This is a recessive genetic ...
