The laboratory mouse is a valuable scientific research tool. Founded in 1929, JAX is an independent, nonprofit biomedical research institution that seeks to decipher the biological and genomic causes of human disease — by using the mouse as our model.

2023年12月25日 · The survey results indicate that mouse is the overwhelmingly preferred laboratory animal; the most widely used mouse and rat strains are C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice, Sprague-Dawley rats and Wistar rats. Other strains, such as A/J mice, CD1 mice, and ICR mice, were also used.

2014年6月3日 · This video provides a brief overview of mice, both as organisms and in terms of their many advantages as experimental models. The discussion features an introduction to common laboratory mouse strains, including the nude mouse, whose genetic makeup renders them both hairless and immunodeficient.

The mouse grimace scale is a standardized behavioral coding system that demonstrates facial expressions which can be used to assess pain in the laboratory mouse.

2024年12月30日 · MGI: the international database resource for the laboratory mouse, providing integrated genetic, genomic, and biological data for researching human health and disease.

2024年6月2日 · It took another century after Mendel’s pea experiments for the mouse to become an established presence in research labs. Along the way, experiments on mice enabled fundamental insights into the genetics and function of the immune system, as well as how to treat cancer with immunotherapy (along with many more discoveries too numerous to list).

2011年5月30日 · Mice and humans share about 95 percent of their genes, and mice are recognized around the world as the leading experimental model for studying human biology and disease.
