Using the device, scientists can compare the brains
of healthy mice with mice that have certain neurological conditions.

in healthy mice.

as healthy mice did.
Over time, these
previously healthy mice eventually began to exhibit the same metabolic dysfunction as the overweight mice from whom they received their gut bacteria.
To investigate a possible link between these stem cells and obesity - linked cancer, researchers
fed healthy mice a diet made up of 60 percent fat for nine to 12 months.
In the object test,
healthy mice remembered objects about 80 percent of the time, while injured mice remembered as poorly as about 65 percent of the time.
Then, they put the smell - deprived mice on either a
normal healthy mouse diet or a high - fat junk - food mouse diet.
When they exposed the treated mice to the influenza virus, the animals recovered from the illness even better than
healthy mice infected with flu that had not undergone the treatment.
The researchers observed that the same sort of beneficial adaptations occurred across the
several healthy mice that were studied.
Note that these human / mouse experiments haven't been tried in HD mice yet -
just healthy mice so far.
In the study, mice with brain injuries experienced enhanced memory — similar to the level found
in healthy mice — up to three months after receiving a stem cell treatment.
Researchers set out to compare the immune systems
of healthy mice, those with obesity - related diabetes and those with age - related diabetes.
The researchers found that mice with brain injuries that also received stem cells remembered their surroundings about 70 percent of the time — the same level
as healthy mice.
In the place test,
healthy mice remembered their surroundings about 70 percent of the time, but mice with brain injuries remembered it just 40 percent of the time.
They injected the mRNA into the middle - aged mice that were missing hypothalamic stem cells and
into healthy mice of similar age.
«We found that in
young healthy mice the immune system overreacted to the influenza virus, which led to more inflammation, greater lung damage and increased mortality compared to healthy adults exposed to the virus,» says lead author Bria Coates, MD, Critical Care physician at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
In this assay, researchers
inject healthy mice with a drug, place them into a tank of water and measure how long they swim before they give up and wait for someone to rescue them.
On the other hand,
healthy mice showed a lower preponderance for developing hypoglycemia when injected with the compound.
But a new technique may finally be bringing that process into the open: A team of Chinese researchers reports turning a dish of a certain type of mouse stem cell into spermlike cells, which then were used to fertilize eggs and produce
healthy mouse pups.
The researchers found that white blood cells in
healthy mice who received exosomes from the blood of the mice with brain damage traveled to the site of brain injury, which the researchers say demonstrates that exosomes released from brain in response to damage alert the immune system to send the immune cell sentinels to the brain.
«In addition to
making healthy mice smarter, we can make the brain resistant to Alzheimer - related toxicity.
In the study, researchers disrupted normal gut bacteria count in
healthy mice by administering antibiotics, bacteria - killing medicines that destroy all bacteria in its path — including good bacteria.
Finally, Li's team injected a group of
healthy mice with a vaccine of exposed dendritic cells, followed by an injection of cancer - causing cells.
However, when the injured mice were given ISRIB 3 days in a row, they were able to solve the maze just as quickly as
healthy mice up to a week later, the researchers report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For the new study exploring Narp's role in ECT, the researchers
used healthy mice and mice genetically bred to lack the Narp.
For this purpose, the researchers established methods for isolating cardiomyocytes in various developmental stages from
healthy mouse hearts.
According to Prof. Offen, untreated Alzheimer's mice would run heedlessly into an unfamiliar and dangerous area of their habitats instead of assessing potential threats, as
healthy mice do.
The scientists also exposed a
dozen healthy mice to skin extracts from two of the CJD patients, and all developed prion disease.
They injected the particles directly into mice with an experimental human brain cancer, and into the brains of
healthy mice for use as comparison.
To test this idea, the Penn - led team first
exposed healthy mice to the CTB - MBP compound by feeding them capsules of freeze - dried leaves that had been genetically engineered to express the fused proteins, a method developed and perfected by Daniell over many years as a means of orally administering various drugs and vaccines.
Antidepressants can
cause healthy mice to swim for longer than their untreated counterparts, which is what Georgiou's male colleague found during his experiments using ketamine.
Next, they reduced the blood aP2 levels in obese and diabetic mice to low levels seen in
lean healthy mice.
She is tuning in to that stream of microsqueaks to tease out differences
between healthy mice and those made to model autism.
A second group of autism - mimicking mice as well as a group of
healthy mice ate applesauce that did not contain the bacteria.
By sequencing the RNA from 57,979 cells from
healthy mouse kidneys, the team found that mutations in genes that have similar characteristics are expressed in a single unique differentiated cell type.
A final experiment showed that ebselen boosted SUMOylation in the brains of
healthy mice more than a control injection.
In a six - minute test,
healthy mice spent about 50 seconds of the last four minutes floating, whereas the mice without Narp spent about 80 seconds floating in this time frame.
So Evans and collaborators at Harvard University and in Germany
gave healthy mice artificial fevers.
In fact, the speed and kinetics of touching down to safe blood glucose levels are identical in diabetic mouse models treated with Ins - PBA - F and in
healthy mice whose blood sugar is regulated by their own insulin.
Introducing extracellular vesicles secreted from the GMSCs of
healthy mice reduced wound healing time in diabetic mice.
• This summer, three separate teams of researchers — two in China, one in California — reported the birth of
healthy mice generated solely from induced pluripotent cells.
Researchers study lab mice and other species in the hunt to understand the human body — and what will keep it healthy
