Synopsis: 4.4. animals: Mammals: Rodent:

In 2007 Japanese scientists reported, first in mice and later in humans, that an adult cell could be reverted to an embryo-like stem cell.

Both feats have been accomplished in mice and they should be possible in other animals, scientists say.

his team is using a similar approach to engineer mice with traits of naked mole rats. The odd-looking rodents live dozens of years instead of a handful like mice.

They are impervious to cancer and do not feel pain from acids. To endow ordinary lab mice with these traits Church will try to partially rewrite the genomes of mouse stem cells.

However, he admits that creating a passenger pigeon from the stem cells of an ordinary pigeon would involve a massive scale up of the same technologies.

For instance, a recent study found that making a chimeric rhesus monkey oe a process needed to resurrect a monkey species from frozen cells oe is much trickier than a mouse."

#Japanese scientists create 581 clones from the same mouse Scientists clone 581 mice from one mouse.

They have managed to push the technique to new limits by cloning 581 mice all from a single original cell.

The first was a genetically identical mouse produced in 1979. Shortly thereafter the first genetically identical cows

scientist have used SCNT to clone other mammals including cat, dog, deer, horse, mule, ox, rabbit and rat.

the authors of the current work were able to clone a mouse to the sixth generation but just barely.

For example, a series of cloned mice were shown to express an RNA molecule that inactivated one of the female s X chromosomes.

When the RNA molecule was removed cloning efficiency of the mice increased nearly ninefold. Based on previous work, the Japanese researchers sought to improve their cloning efficiency by using a chemical called trichostatin A that inhibits the powerful epigenetic protein histone deacetylase.

the inhibitor allowed them to produce 581 mice through 25 rounds of SCNT cloning. The mice were healthy

and were able to reproduce. What s more the cloning success rate did not decrease with each generation.

Our discussion ranged from robotic rats and sheep laterality to the advantages of GPS imprecision and the possibility of high-tech herds bred to suit the topography of particular property.

It s been done with rodents. The idea was that these animals could be equipped with a camera

Do you send rodents into it? You can see the moral and ethical issues that need to be worked out.

and even build large buildings and luxury homes with custom architectural features that can be changed with only a few clicks of a mouse.

  From the mouse data we know that embryonic cloning is better than ips cells Cibelli said.

In mice, they discovered a short chunk of RNA, called a microrna, that targeted beta-lactoglobulin MESSENGER RNA directly to prevent its translation.

and cows can now be thought of as big mice, but we are moving in that direction,

They demanded that all its 800 animals (mostly genetically modified mice) be transferred into their care.

The study cited in the article was a 2-year toxicology study of rats fed Monsanto's Roundup-resistant NK103 maize (corn) and the herbicide Roundup.

It turns out that the Sprague-Dawley rats in the study have a lifespan of about 2 years

In other words SÃ Â ralini is accused of scientific malpractice for not including a high enough sample of rats in the study to control for naturally occurring tumors and cancers.

After proposing the use of rats in long-term experiments it exposed that Monsanto and every other case study did not do a long-term study.

Because they all use rats. The very rat that is in question in SÃ Â ralini's work.

How can anyone claim that the food is safe if you only test it for 90 days?

The rats they used in the test are used in every lab experiment across the country. They are the most common lab rat in use today

It's because of this rat dilemma they have highlighted another study that used a different animal for 5 years.

and the case has been highlighted because of the use of rats. The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat strain that SÃ Â ralini used is used also in long-term 2-year toxicity

If this was the wrong type of rat for SÃ Â ralini to use it was the wrong rat in all these other studies

and sold in the world today affects the fertility of mice. The mice which were fed the GMO corn had significantly lower fertility rates than the mice fed natural non-GMO corn.

Disturbingly this declining ability to have continued babies down through future mouse generations as well. ÃÃÚÂ Ã 2. A comparative analysis published in the International Journal of Biological sciences examined the health effects of three different varieties of Monsanto-developed GMO corn on mice.

While the specific effects differed depending upon the variety of GMO corn that was eaten the dose that was consumed

and the sex of the mammal all three varieties of GMO corn caused damage to the animals major detoxifying organs namely the liver and the kidneys.

and female rats the death rates for the animals fed GMO corn was two to three times higher than the animals eating non-GMO corn.

The GMO-fed mice were also four times more likely to develop tumors. GMO-eating females developed more mammary tumors as well as pituitary gland and hormonal abnormalities.

To print the liver tissue at Organovo Vivian Gorgen a 25-year-old systems engineer simply had to click run program with a mouse.

Then they graduated to larger mammalian cells farmed from Chinese hamsters and lab rats. After printing 90 percent of the cells remained viable

There are some pretty significant species differences between animals like rats and humans says Organovo's Presnell.

So you can get a lovely answer from a rat that says'Yeah go forth!''And in reality in a human it would not do well.

At Stanford researchers have tried to get around this problem by breeding mice with livers made up mostly of human cells.

A study published in October showed the mice predicted how well a drug for treating hepatitis C would be metabolized by humans.

#The Odd Way Beavers Impact Climate Changewhen the industrious beaver scurries around being its toothy self cutting down trees

When beavers build a dam impeding the natural flow of water the river begins to overflow more often creating a sediment-rich wetland area known as a beaver meadow.

A new study from Colorado State university geology professor Ellen Wohl finds that these beaver meadows store carbon temporarily sequestering greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

With reductions in the beaver population we're missing out on a whole lot of potential carbon storage.

Between 60 million to 400 million beavers once lived across 60 percent of North america but European settlers substantially reduced the population through hunting and trapping.

When beaver populations relocate and abandon their dams beaver meadows eventually dry up into grasslands and the wood and organic matter buried there begins to decompose

and release carbon dioxide. This suggests that beavers play an important role in keeping the ecosystem resilient against climate change drought and wildfire the study notes.

Wohl found that the abandoned beaver dams she studied made up around 8 percent of the carbon storage in the landscape

and that if beavers were still actively maintaining those dams the number would be closer to 23 percent.

As such wiping out most of the continent's beaver population during pre-Colonial times probably had quite an impact on the climate.

Beavers: Squirreling away our carbon log by log. The study appears in Geophysical Research Letters.

Science via Phys. org Considering we're at a critical carbon deficit right now it's about time to start wiping these pudgy menaces out for good!

Cute Beaver and interesting article too. Critical carbon deficit? WTF are you talking about?@@Frosttty for most of the history of the world we have had significantly more atmospheric carbon than we do now.

The beaver is a destructive animal that needs to be hunted or exterminated. A single beaver can

and will build a dam that will flood and create a pond anywhere from 2 to 10 acres.

As far as the release of carbon dioxide with the European/Colonial settlement of North america and the beaver trapping that occurred from the 1500's to the 1800's-give me a break.

Beavers continue to cut down trees and brush AFTER their dam and ponds are built-yes the destruction exceeds the pond area.

Beaver teeth grow through out their life like most rodents and they must alway chew/grind on something.

Why doesn't the author try to calculate how much forest was saved (carbon dioxide sequestered) by trapping the beavers?

We could easily return half the world's farmland to wilderness for Beaver and other wetland creatures and live longer healthier lives just by adopting a vegetarian diet.

Reading some of these comments it's clear that it's not enough that beavers sequester carbon raise the water table augment the density

what kind of startling data it will take to convince readers that beavers really are worth a dam!

But the fact is that it takes a lot more than beavers to feed the estimated 7 billion people that populate the earth.

So what does all this have to do with beavers? How many dam beavers would it take to help us out?

And do we even have the room for them on our rivers and streams? And could that land be used instead in better more efficient ways?

Not beavers. Today's magic is tomorrow's technology...aside from dams and environmental'landscaping'they also make great hats and jackets.

On a side note of beavers beaver hat trivial...One of the legends about Daniel Boone is the type of cap

Instead the aim is to induce one species to grow an organ of the other not a combination of two species. He's done this with mice and rats;

back in 2010 he successfully induced a mouse embryo to grow a rat pancreas by using rat stem cells.

Plague-carrying rats and other vermin were destroyed. Disinfectants were used freely and fumigation resorted to when necessary in handling contagious diseases.

Until recently fmri in small animals was focused mainly on rats and to a lesser extent on mice Dr. Van der Linden explains.

Thus far songbird brains have been studied using electrophysiological and histological techniques. However these approaches do not provide a global view of the brain
