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 ...

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

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 ...

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 ...

A new study published in Microbiology Spectrum reports the establishment of a liver-humanized NSG-PiZ mouse model that is fully permissive to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this model, HBV can ...

Animal research models are only as effective as their ability to simulate human disease. Depending on the condition being studied, researchers were at one time limited to available species that could ...

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 ...

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 ...
