The spiny mouse (Acomys) comes from multiple locations around the world that are characterized by their harsh, inflexible spiny hairs along their body. At Caltech, the African Spiny Mouse’s unique regenerative properties have been a key part of research in the Gradinaru lab. We will then discuss how we established a colony of Spiny Mice and equip the audience with information regarding their husbandry and veterinary care. Lastly, we will briefly touch base on current work using spiny mice as their prototype.
