After months of designing and making demos, just built a better mouse house that is stainless steel inert, reusable and safe for 🐭.

Which housing would you prefer? The red house or the stainless steel custom design housing?

The study also revealed an inverse correlation between the expression of certain chemokine mRNAs and their corresponding microRNAs (miR-532-5p, miR-1266-3p, miR-3163).. could play a role in regulating the expression of chemokines.

Some cancers develop resistance to therapies, and chemokines may play a role in this process. By studying how chemokines influence tumor behavior and immune responses, researchers can identify new strategies to overcome resistance and improve treatment efficacy. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
