Both strains of
mouse showed a significant elevation of protoporphyrin from day 3, but C57BL/6J mice reached maximal accumulation by day 15 compared with the BALB/c mice, which reached the same level of accumulation by day 22.

Comfortably numb: anesthetics are slowly giving up the secrets of how they work
Significant advances in the science of
mouse cancer modeling reflect the rapid acquisition of
mouse and human genome sequence information, the informatics tools to analyze and compare them, innovative technologies to derive molecular signatures of human and
mouse cancer, and the evolution of new approaches to
mouse engineering and phenotyping.

According to the Nature report, the rat genome contains less DNA than the human genome does but slightly more than the
mouse genome.

MEHP has been shown to stimulate transcriptional activation of human or

The investigators also demonstrated that the removal of 70 percent of a
mouse's liver, a surgical procedure known as a partial hepatectomy, produces a dramatic drop in the concentration of SCF in the remaining organ along with a rise in SCF in the
mouse's blood.
Getting back to normal: protein enables the liver to regenerate quickly
For example,
mouse models of xeroderma pigmentosa produced by creating null mutations of xpc gene prove the critical function nucleotide excision repair by the xpc system in ultraviolet radiation-induced damage leading to skin cancer (13).

The alteration lowered the animals' temperatures by about 0.3 to 0.5[degrees]C below normal for a
mouse. The altered mice were given as much food as they wanted, and they maintained normal weight.
