A Gut Bacteria Called Turicibacter May Curb Weight Gain in Mice on High-Fat Diet
Understanding the microbiome’s role in obesity The gut microbiome, a bustling community of trillions of bacteria, has emerged as a critical player in metabolism and body weight regulation. Among the many microbial inhabitants, a relatively underappreciated genus named Turicibacter has now drawn attention for its potential to improve metabolic health and reduce weight gain in…

Brain Cells That Drive Anxiety in Mice Reveal Targets
What the new mouse study shows In a recent line of experiments with mice, researchers mapped specific brain cells that either amplify or suppress anxiety-like behaviors. By observing how these neurons activate during stressful situations, and how their activity shifts when anxiety is reduced, scientists are painting a more nuanced picture of the brain’s emotional…

Pan-Cancer AI Model Improves Prognostic Accuracy Across Cancers
A New Milestone in Pan-Cancer Prognosis Researchers have unveiled a multimodal artificial intelligence model that advances prognosis prediction across a broad spectrum of cancers. Known as MICE (Multimodal data Integration via Collaborative Experts), the framework fuses pathology images, genomic information, and clinical data to deliver more accurate survival predictions across 30 distinct cancer types. The…

Unraveling the Brain Mechanisms Behind Social Hierarchies in Mice
Introduction: Why studying social hierarchies in mice matters Social hierarchies shape access to resources, mating opportunities, and territory in many species. While humans display complex social dynamics, the neural underpinnings that guide who becomes dominant or submissive remain a frontier of inquiry. A recent study from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) sheds…

Brain Mechanisms Behind Social Hierarchies in Mice: Neural Basis of Dominance
Unraveling the brain’s role in mouse social hierarchies Social hierarchies are everywhere, from school playground dynamics to corporate boards. In the animal kingdom, dominant individuals often enjoy faster access to food, better mating opportunities, and larger territories. While winning and losing clearly influence an animal’s place in its group, the brain mechanisms guiding these social…

Unraveling the brain mechanisms behind social hierarchies in mice
Understanding social hierarchies in mice From playground dynamics to corporate hierarchies, social ranking influences access to resources, mating opportunities, and territory. Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are shedding light on the brain mechanisms that underlie these dynamics in male mice. Their work points to specific neural circuits that govern how…
