In a brand new study, mice whose immune systems were trained against the microbial protein flagellin didn’t experience the same old detrimental effects of ingesting food additive emulsifiers, pointing to a possible latest technique to combat various chronic inflammatory diseases. Melissa Kordahi and Benoit Chassaing, Inserm researchers from the Institut Cochin and Université Paris Cité, […]
In a preprint* research paper recently uploaded to the bioRxiv server, researchers at Washington University investigated how the exposome can mediate immune function in house mice, probably the most widely used model systems for in vivo immunological experimentation. Mice were sequentially inoculated with six different viral pathogens from formative years (neonatal) stages, following which their […]
Yale researchers have created a functional “humanized” liver in living mice that can help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating levels of cholesterol and potentially for treating chronic liver diseases afflicting tens of thousands and thousands of individuals in the US. The findings are published Aug. 9 within the journal Cell. Chronic liver diseases similar […]
