Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, using interspecies blastocyst complementation to study ...

For the first time, researchers have used cells from one species to restore the sense of smell in another. In an article published April 25 in Cell, researchers from Columbia University described how ...

Two independent research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits in mice using neurons grown from rat stem cells. Both studies, published April 25 in the journal Cell, offer valuable ...

In recent experiments, rat brain cells filled in for lost neurons in mouse brains, raising new possibilities for growing donor tissues across species. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Rat cells grown inside the brains of mice with no sense of smell have allowed them to gain the ability. This is the first time that an organism of one species has experienced the world through the ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...
