Scientists aim to make lab mice more comfortable

Scientists have recently discovered that lab mice are uncomfortable in their cages as most of them are cold do the bleak environment.  The mice are stressed as a result, which makes them a less than a perfect specimen.  Stress can change the physiology in an animal's body compromising its health.  Now lab mice will be provided with nesting material, which researchers say it might not be just for warmth but comfort.
