Laboratory mouse

A laboratory mouse is a small, genetically defined mouse used in scientific research to study biology, disease, and medicine. They are bred in controlled environments to ensure consistent genetics and health, making them valuable models for understanding human health issues, testing new treatments, and studying genetics. Their biological similarities to humans, such as organ structure and immune responses, allow researchers to gain insights that can inform medical advances. Laboratory mice are essential tools in research, contributing significantly to progress in disease prevention, diagnosis, and therapy development.
