Rodent social behavior encoded in junk DNA

A discovery that may someday help to explain human social behavior and disorders such as autism has been made in a species of pudgy rodents by researchers funded, in part, by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). The researchers traced social behavior traits, such as monogamy, to seeming glitc...

Wild vs. lab rodent comparison supports hygiene hypothesis

In a study comparing wild rodents with their laboratory counterparts, researchers at Duke University Medical Center have found evidence that may help to explain why people in industrialized societies that greatly stress hygiene have higher rates of allergy and autoimmune diseases than do people in less developed societies in which hygiene is harder to achieve or considered less critical. T...

A new view on Lyme disease: Rodents hold the key to annual risk

In the United States, Lyme disease incidence has skyrocketed from 497 cases reported in 1982 (the first year national statistics were collected) to a record 23,763 in 2002. Lyme disease, like other zoonoses, is transmitted by a vector that picks up the pathogen during a blood meal from a vertebrate host. In the eastern and central United States, the spirochete bacterium Borrelia burgdor...

Longer-lived rodents have lower levels of thyroid hormone

The thyroid may play an important role in longevity, with longer-lived rodents showing significantly lower levels of a thyroid hormone that speeds metabolism, a new study has found. The study further strengthens the theory that the faster an animal's metabolism, the shorter its life, and vice versa, said Mario Pinto, the study's lead author. The thyroid releases hormones that regulate meta...

Rodents to be replaced with Dogs for cancer Research

Researchers from National Cancer Institute, US is to start testing their drug efficacy trial on dogs as the researchers feel that drug metabolize, enzyme kinetics and drug action mechanisms in dogs are similar to humans than that of rodents//. Dr. Chand Khanna, Veterinary Oncologist said, “It turns out that many cancers, such as lymphoma, melanoma and osteosarcoma, are well represente...

Pregnant Women Can Minimize Risk Of Rodent-Based Virus

Pregnant women can minimize their risk of becoming infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), an infectious agent carried by house mice// and other rodents that can cause severe brain damage in a fetus. The risk of LCMV transmission increases in the winter months, when rodents seek shelter in homes, said Daniel Bonthius, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics at...

Glucose Causes Death of Brain Cells in Rodents Following Hypoglycemic Coma

It was thought that hypoglycemic coma causes brain damage. On the contrary brain damage occurs only when glucose is given to treat the coma//, as discovered by researchers from San Francisco VA Medical Center, during a study on rodents. The study results may have implications on the treatment of diabetics in hypoglycemic coma, though detailed research is necessary before it can be appl...
