Like the mice in question, humans also have limbs. Unlike the mice in question, we do not have whiskers. So this study shows that the previously observed trend is not whisker-dependent.
Doesn’t strike me as a particularly significant nor interesting point.
I guess it isn't -- if you're knowledgeable in this I suppose -- I just didn't understand it, sorry. Haha! :)
So the translational refers to how the results can translate across species or at least translate from previous studies by showing it's not dependent on whiskers, alright, cool. Thank you! :)
The term translational is frequently used to describe basic research (eg. with cells or mice) that has applications to human health - findings in lab that make it to the clinic.
