Hi,
The suggestions of SunnySkyguy are all correct.
Down to 1mOhm you can work with DC excitation and chopper opamps.
I doubt DC gives good results down to 1uOhm. Here i´d go for AC excitation. But that is out of question here.

Maybe you use a DAC to control the current source.
If output = 0..5V and known shunt resistance is 0.1ohms you could just use a voltage divider for current source input.
The FET parameters for low side current source are:
N-CH
VDS: >6, --> >12V
ID: > 1A
PTot > 6W: mind a good package for heatsink
VGSth 0.5...1.5V
