lab mouse
Experiment subject animal
A lab mouse is a mouse bred and kept for scientific research.
These mice are standardized genetic strains, making experiments reproducible across laboratories worldwide.
The lab mice were divided into control and treatment groups.
Lab mice serve as models for human disease, drug testing, and genetic studies—workhorses of biomedical research.
