What doesn't work in mice is typically for mouse-models of diseases: we try to replicate a disease based on what we think causes it, then try to cure it.
That's typical for cancer, Alzheimer etc. No wonder the things tried in the toy problem don't work out when faced with the real problem!
The problem isn't so much the mice being so different, but the disease itself being very different from the toy problem.
