Chronological Age vs Biological Age: Can Aging be Reversed?
What can biological age tell us about our health? Is it a fixed number, or can it be reduced? A recent study from Poganik et al. investigates the fluctuations in biological age in response to physiological stress.
A Breath of Not-So-Fresh Air: the Combined Effects of Air and Noise Pollution
While air and noise pollution have been well documented independently, their combined effects are insufficiently discussed, until recently. In this blog post, we discuss a recent publication from Kuntic et al. on the combined and individual effects of these pollutants in mice.
Colorectal Tumor Imaging
Join Jessica Freeling as she discusses several models of colorectal cancer in mice and their imaging methods.
Inherited Retinal Dystrophy: Chronic Proinflammatory Signaling Accelerates the Rate of Degeneration
T.J. Hollingsworth, PhD, discusses findings from a recent study examining the effects of chronic proinflammatory signaling in inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD).
#ExpertAnswers: Jastyn Pöpplau and Marilena Hnida on Prefrontal Networks
Jastyn A. Pöpplau and Marilena Hnida discuss their research on prefrontal networks in developing head-fixed mice, and the role of these networks in cognition and models of neurodevelopmental diseases.
Developing Prefrontal Circuits and Their Role in Health and Disease
In this webinar, Dr. Ileana Hanganu-Opatz, Dr. Jastyn A. Pöpplau, and Marilena Hnida discuss their research on prefrontal networks in developing head-fixed mice, and the role of these networks in cognition and models of neurodevelopmental diseases.
Protocol Preview: Creating an Artificial Human Thymus in Mice
The majority of treatments for immunodeficiencies are temporary fixes, in part due to a lack of preclinical models that can accurately predict immune responses in humans. However, a novel model recently published in Nature Methods has potential to greatly improve future immune response studies, which we review in this blog post.
