Remember the #InMice hashtag? Whenever there's an exciting medical news headline about how researchers in China have found that a rare Amazonian slug's secretions can cure cancer, increase longevity, cleanse your blood and give firmer longer lasting erections, you'll inevitably find that the actual paper only hints at any of those things, and also the research was done on mice. So you tag it.

We need a similar thing for #InAmerica

Application of cell type-specific chemogenetics:

"We developed naloxone-DART, a cell-type-specific analogue of the clinical opioid receptor antagonist naloxone, and delivered it to genetically defined accumbal cholinergic interneurons, selectively rendering these cells morphine-insensitive."

"A cholinergic hub in the nucleus accumbens gates opioid-reward learning", Yousefzadeh et al. (Michael Tadross' lab).

SLE (#lupus) is associated with genetic variants in the X-linked gene TASL. Julia Johnstone, Alex Clarke &co show that TASL is required for B cell activation, age-associated B cell formation and lupus-like disease #InMice, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target

Why does #fat expand differently in distinct body regions? Yan Li, Carlos Ibáñez, Meng Xie &co identify Gpc3 as a gene that selectively promotes the expansion of white adipose tissue in specific body areas in mice fed a high fat diet.

Ischemic #stroke induces substantial neuronal remodeling. Huanhuan Chen, Ye Wei, Mikhail Spivakov, Oleg O Glebov &co find a loss of synapses in the ischemic core, but functional enhancement of synapses in the contralateral cortex in a mouse model of stroke.

Earliest evidence of making fire - Nature

Here we present evidence of fire-making on a 400,000-year-old buried landsurface at Barnham (UK), where heated sediments and fire-cracked flint

Don't give your pet mouse 🐁️ a tattoo. A study by Capucetti et al. in PNAS found the ink lingers in lymph nodes for months and kills immune cells. Effect on vaccines varied; Comirnaty (for COVID) injected into a tattoo was weaker while the flu jab was stronger.

You know that thing where people add #InMice to posts about scientific discoveries where the research has so far only been done on mice?
We need #InTheEast for stories about 'Australian' weather conditions 😐

@adapalmer Seems adroit to the tag #InMice … since human and mouse brains are rather different. Recall the study that placed human glial cells in mouse brains and the latter performed better at some tasks. Mitochondria restoration alone may or may not cut it for human neurodegeneration.

"Scientists aiming to bring back woolly mammoth create woolly mice".

This is what happens when you underfund #academia. Wool but #inmice.

I'm in a friend group where people regularly share articles and TikToks etc claiming all kinds of findings.

I am that person who then tries to find the sources of the original information, then reads academic papers to gauge if the "headlines" that are shared can actually backed up by proper science.

In this process, I often find myself uttering the words "I hate to be this person again, but... *in mice*. They did *one* small study with *mice* and found an effect *in mice*."

I love this.

@TCatInReality @marjolica @ChrisMayLA6 (those are very old numbers, btw. Prolly double now.)

At each step, about 50% attrition.
(This is why press releases finding something active #InMice is so silly.)

So it COSTS $620 million to find a new drug if everything works.

How much do pharma companies actually SPEND to find a new drug?
(So include failure costs)

Turns out about $8B per drug.
(Reported R&D costs per new drug approval)

@mattotcha

Results show #InMice ... er ... #InWorms 🥴

Ich meine mich zu erinnern das es auf der Vogel-Seite einen Account gab, der Studien für Mäuse veröffentlicht hat. Es war @inmice

Hier habe ich nur den #InMice Hashtag gefunden. Eine Maus sollte man sein 😜
