In vivo models of human immunity in human tumor-bearing mice are frequently used to study mechanisms of targeted immunotherapies, safety, and efficacy. In a recent webinar Jenny Rowe, PhD, Scientist ...

Why do 80 to 90% of people infected with COVID-19 experience only mild cases while 10 to 20% face more severe or life-threatening symptoms? Researchers in the lab of Yale’s Richard Flavell decided to ...

Creating better, more reliable rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease has been a struggle for researchers. On October 19 in Molecular Neurodegeneration, scientists led by Bart De Strooper at KU Leuven, ...

Mice are commonly used as models of human disease, helping scientists to understand the workings of complex pathologies and develop safe and efficacious drugs. It is now possible to create a range of ...

Researchers have created a functional 'humanized' liver in living mice that will help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating cholesterol levels and potentially for treating chronic ...

A severe organ shortage plagues the progress of organ transplantation. One solution may be to generate human organs in other large mammals, however, that process is challenging. Now, researchers have ...

Chinese military researchers were part of a project that created mice with “humanized” lungs — apparently to test the infectiousness of various viruses, according to a blockbuster report Thursday. The ...
