Previous works have established a unique function of MyoD in the control of muscle gene expression during DNA damage response in myoblasts. Phosphorylation by DNA damage-activated ABL tyrosine ...

In a Wuhan-esque study, Chinese scientists are experimenting with a mutant COVID strain that is 100% lethal to “humanized” mice. The deadly virus — known as GX_P2V — attacked the brains of ...

The researchers engineered the mutant mice to make a light-sensitive protein in neurons in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that encodes short-term memories.

The normal mice ventured into open space an average of 9,000 times per hour at their most active, vs. 20,000 times per hour for the mutated mice—which were also active for longer periods. Ross says ...

Morphine is a powerful painkilling drug with a well-known downside. It has “this nasty side effect of causing addiction if used inappropriately,” says neuroscientist Anthony Basile, who ...

The majority of the rodents – 1.77 million mice – were mutant, “knockout” mice: animals with a specific gene turned off, helping scientists to understand what that gene does.
