Frozen laboratory mice near immortality
Mice preserved by deep freezing promise genetic stability for research. Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor stores and freezes embryos at minus 196 degrees Celsius to maintain valuable strains used worldwide. The practice enables long-term preservation of test mice, aiding studies of diseases and drug responses while raising bioethics questions about future human applications.
