Mice lacking an olfactory system have had their sense of smell restored with neurons from rats, the first time scientists have successfully integrated the sensory apparatus of one species into another ...

The distinct aging rates of neural progenitor cells and Wnt signaling dictate mammalian cortical layer proportions.

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, published April 25 in the journal Cell, offer valuable ...

Scientists at the University of Rochester pulled off a remarkable experiment: they transferred a longevity-related gene from the famously long-lived naked mole rat into mice, and the mice ended up ...

What does it feel like to be a rat? We will never know, but some very unusual mice may now have an inkling. In a series of new experiments, bits of rat brain grew inside the brains of mice. Donor stem ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...
