What do a frog, a filamentous fungus, and a water flea have in common? They are all model organisms for biomedical research. This aptly named site through the NIH brings all model organisms into the ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG3, SDG14, and SDG15. This collection delves into the fascinating world of model organisms that unlock the mysteries of regeneration. From ...

In recent years, many research studies have been conducted to assess the therapeutic use of nanomedicines. This is due to their enhanced stability and solubility, ability to overcome transport ...

The lifespan of a small roundworm that has been used as a key model organism in aging research is limited by how it self-sacrifices to feed its young, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The ...

Scientists have relied on animal models as an alternative to testing on human tissues and cells for decades. But not just any organism can adequately model how human cells behave. Researchers take ...
