If mice ever wonder what it's like to experience the world as a rat, some are now able to live that dream, at least when it comes to the sense of smell.

Researchers led by Columbia’s Kristin Baldwin have created mice with hybrid brains–part mouse, part rat–that sense the odors of the world with their rat neurons.

What does it feel like to be a rat? We will never know, but some very unusual mice may now have an inkling. In a series of new experiments, bits of rat brain grew inside the brains of mice. Donor ...

Researchers Breed Mice With Hybrid Brains Containing Cells From Rats In one experiment, rat neurons helped mice restore their senses of smell—the first time any animal has perceived the world ...

Researchers led by Columbia University's Kristin Baldwin have created mice with hybrid brains – part mouse, part rat – that sense the odors of the world with their rat neurons.

In the new research, however, the teams developed hybrid brains by injecting rat stem cells into early-stage mouse embryos that lacked certain genes for brain development.

Rie Natsume and her collaborators have recently developed an innovative and cost-effective method for generating rats that ...

The new research published today in Stem Cell Reports has demonstrated that it is possible to produce rat sperm in sterile hybrid mice.

From half-rat-half-mouse hybrids to primates with human genes, scientists will soon be able to combine the genes of different animals and humans to create 'chimaeras'.
