JAX researchers develop a powerful platform to study human health conditions

In humans, the exact same mutation in a specific gene can produce widely different outcomes. It's a bit like adding the same amount of salt to different recipes-;the effect on the finished dish can be quite different, depending on the mix of other ingredients.

At JAX, researchers have developed a powerful platform to study human health conditions using mouse models. By studying how different genetic variations impact health outcomes in mice, scientists can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying human diseases.
