The country of South Africa is planning to bomb its Marion Island, a remote island around 2,000 kilometres southeast of Cape Town. The country has been thinking of taking such a drastic action because an unnerving drama is unfolding on the island, which is, the seabirds, especially albatrosses, falling prey to mice.

A team of scientists at the Imperial College London and Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, may have found a miracle drug that can stop signs of ageing and extend lifespan. During their trial on mice, they found that the drug extended life by nearly 25%. Scientists are hoping that the discovery can potentially slow ageing on humans too.

All of us encounter scary events at some point in our lives. Some events affect us deeply and we are unable to do anything that reminds us of the traumatic event.

Scientists have found where scary memories 'live' in our brains

Scientists at the Japan's University of Yamanashi have successfully produced cloned mice using freeze-dried cells in a technique they believe could one day help conserve species and overcome challenges with current biobanking methods.

If a new study is to be believed, Omicron variant of the coronavirus may have originated from mice. According to this study, which has been undertaken by Chinese researchers, there is strong evidence that the virus passed from humans to mice and then it made the reverse journey after undergoing multiple mutations.

Omicron variant originated from mice, say Chinese scientists. Is the narrative changing continuously?  

If some leaked documents are to be believed, 23,000 mice were mercilessly killed by Rutgers University in 2020. Although mice are used for experimentation, killing numerous after deeming them unnecessary is brutal.
