ArticleAugust 14, 2024JAX researchers call for genetically diverse models to drive innovation in drug discovery
Diverse mouse models show promise in how we understand and treat diseases, offering a significant improvement over standardized but limited mouse and cellular models. -
ArticleJuly 24, 2024Researchers are closing in on a mouse model for late-onset Alzheimer’s research
Mice don’t get Alzheimer’s—and while that’s good news for mice, it’s a big problem for biomedical researchers seeking to understand the disease and test new treatments. Now, researchers at The Jackson Laboratory are working to create the first strain of mice that’s genetically susceptible to late-onset Alzheimer’s, with potentially transformative implications for dementia research. -
