A rat with some human genes could provide a better way to test Alzheimer's drugs. The genetically modified rat is the first rodent model to exhibit the full range of brain changes found in Alzheimer's ...

In a new study appearing in the June issue of Nature Methods, UT Southwestern researchers detail how they created 35 new rat "lines," with each type of animal harboring mutations in specific genes.

Researchers at The Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at Mount Sinai have generated and characterized a genetically modified rat model of autism and intellectual disability, according to ...

Using the blastocyst complementation method, we produced rat embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived sperm in testicular hypoplasia mice and successfully generated rat offspring. This method can provide a ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have created the first genetically engineered model of lung cancer in naked mole rats, a species long thought to be resistant to cancer. The findings, published in ...

The researchers xenotransplanted rat ovaries into renal capsules of immunodeficient mice. After transplantation, rat oocytes were retrieved from the mice, matured and fertilized in vitro. Finally, the ...

Drug companies have developed several Alzheimer's drugs that seemed to work in mice but did not help people with the disease. So scientists... Genetically Modified Rat Is Promising Model For Alzheimer ...
