Researchers at the Heidelberg Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University have now examined the underlying adaptive mechanisms in the brain of mice that ... the hypothalamus, was unusually active ...

It can be used to track embryonic development, a fundamental biological process that underpins the diversity of life on Earth, and provides an accessible and scalable means of visualising and ...

Now, researchers have discovered a previously unknown population of neurons in the hypothalamus that regulate food intake and could be a promising new target for obesity drugs. In addition, ...

researchers added fluorescence to the BNC2 neurons and noticed when they fed mice after fasting, the BCN2 neurons activated, whereas previously known neuronal populations in the hypothalamus did ...

those taken from adult mice and those taken from mouse embryos. The neurons were nonmyelinated (they were without the myelin insulating cover that surrounds the axon). The researchers found the ...

IN the course of routine passage of Moloney's leukæmogenic virus ... BALB/c mice, as a test of potency. Only 6 survived to weaning. On the 32nd day 5 had tumours at or near the injection site ...

The researchers used gene-editing tools to produce mouse embryos that completely lack the SLC25A1 protein. As expected, these embryos developed heart defects. However, they also had problems with ...

There is no evidence of a ‘transition zone’ to secondary neurulation, which proceeds from CS13 with formation of a single lumen as in mouse, not coalescence of multiple lumens as has been claimed ...

Immunization is the best way to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections and their complications. It involves administering a preventive treatment or vaccine to help the body ...

SPANISH and British scientists have been working in London on mice to see if injections of antibodies can potentially extend the life of a human- with initial encouraging results. Monthly jabs of ...

A stem-cell derived human embryo model showing blue cells (embryo), yellow cells (yolk sac) and pink cells (placenta). Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo ...
