Debate rages over mouse studies’ relevance to humans
Last year, researchers said rodents are not good mimics of human inflammation; a new study says the reverse.

Two-part vaccine protects monkeys from Ebola
An experimental vaccine protected macaques from infection with the Ebola virus up to 10 months after receiving the two-shot regimen.

The molecular path of best resilience
Many studies focus on susceptibility to stress and how it triggers depression. But a new study highlights a protein important in resilience, showing that resisting stress takes work, too.

Monkeys born with edited genes
A DNA-snipping technique inspired by bacteria shows therapeutic promise.

Gene therapy treats children with rare diseases
Six kids are healthy, up to three years after treatment.

Mighty muscles may stave off depression
Strong muscles protect the brain from stress-induced toxin associated with depression, a study in mice suggests.

Nanoparticle injection blocks breast cancer growth in mice
A nanoparticle-based therapy delivered directly to the mammary ducts could potentially stop pre-cancerous cells from becoming full-blown breast cancer, scientists say.

Blood clotting disorder blocked in dogs
Gene therapy stopped severe bleeding in dogs with the blood clotting disorder hemophilia.

People’s genes welcome their microbes
In mice and humans, genetic variants seem to control the bacterial mix on and in bodies.

Gene that boosts Alzheimer’s risk might protect against it too
Carrying certain genetic versions of apolipoprotein E is a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. A new study looks at the effects of different types of APOE on the major markers of Alzheimer’s in mice and shows that all forms are not equal.
