Researchers from Munich and Tuebingen have developed an open-source camera system that will allow scientists to study how mice see their natural habitats.
A mouse study suggests that the gut microbiome could talk to the brain and influence the animal's social behavior. Researchers believe that this study shows promise in finding treatment for neurological disorders.
A recent study of neuronal activities shows that excessive neuronal activities might increase the chances of having a brain tumor. Mice, in place of children, are found to have developing tumors in optical neurons.
Rats, mice, pigs, and other mammals can breathe using their intestines by pumping air up their butts. Can humans do this as well? Some scientists believe it could be an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients.
Researchers recently developed an Ebola virus vaccine that has shown promise in rabbits and mice. Specifically, what the scientists developed is a new nanoparticle-based shot for protection against the virus.
The research findings propose that a safe and efficient delivery system of the lung could someday be employed for vaccines and other treatments against respiratory illnesses.
New research on mice studies determines that a common food additive known as titanium dioxide can cause adverse effects to colonic health. The food additive has recently been banned in France but is still continuously being used in the U.S. and other countries.
In a study involving mice, researchers have determined that the amygdala, a part of the temporal lobe, could turn off pain signals in the brain. To learn more, click the link above and watch a video further explaining the functions of the amygdala.
Researchers have found that certain gut bacteria such as lactobacillus can improve the memory of mice. Although further studies need to be conducted before they can conclude its effectivity in humans, their findings prove to be a promising start.
Despite being fed high-fat diets, a study reveals that by blocking macrophages or inflammatory cells, low-grade inflammation related to obesity could also be controlled. Click the link above to learn more.
