This interesting and groundbreaking article was discovered by City Xpress and we felt it was worthy of passing on to our readership.

We have always felt at City Xpress we perform a very small part in our meticulous process of transporting these valuable research mice    in a very tight strict climate and antispetic environment.

According to researchers studying mice, excessive alcohol consumption can trigger over eating in humans.

Mice were injected with alcohol and separated from the control mice that were injected with a saline solution.

They were separated o avoid group behavior

Both male and female mice over ate within a four hour period

The technologist, Oliver Smithes who developed tools that could “knock out” specific genetic components in model organisms, died on January 10, 2017 at the age of 91.

Termed the “knock out” mouse, this altered species were valuable to researchers all over the world.

When asked to transport these highly valuable mice in our temperature regulated and temperature monitored climate controlled vans, we always take extra precautions when transporting these highly valuable mice.

Smithes also invented starch gel electrophoresis for the development of gene targeting enabling researchers to create thousands of strains of gentetically atered mice.

When utilizing City Xpress’ transport services these researchers may wish to pinpoint the location of these valuable mice at any time of the journey.  The researchers find the auto location ability valuable when using City Xpress to transport their mice.

Smithes worked late in his career at the  University of Toronto’s Connaught Medical Research Laboratory in a group effort to purify insulin.
