Mice Animal procedures were performed in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines with the approval of NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). All animals were housed at 22–25 °C with 50–60% humidity. Animals had access to food and water ad libitum and were housed under a 12 h–12 h light–dark cycle….
The muon is a short-lived elementary particle with spin 1/2 and a mass 207 times larger than that of the electron. Both particles create a magnetic field around them, characterized by a magnetic dipole moment. This moment is proportional to the spin and charge of the particle and inversely proportional to twice its mass. Dirac’s relativistic…

Even ants deserve their spa day. Pogonomyrmex barbatus harvester ants pay regular visits to the nests of much smaller ants, which seem to groom the hulking visitors — the first known example of such mutualism between ant species1.

The UM-HET3 sibship UM-HET3 mice are progeny of a cross between two types of F1 hybrids—female F1 mice from matings of BALB/cByJ dams to C57BL/6J sires and male F1 mice from matings of C3H/HeJ dams to DBA/2J sires. These four inbred progenitors are abbreviated CBy, B6, C3H and D2 when referring to mice and strains,…

Animals Experiments were performed in accordance with the EU guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals, and with the guidelines of the UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and subsequent amendments. Use of animals in this project was approved by the Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body for the University of Cambridge and…
