Could we see how the mice noses run? (genetics news)

...Pick your ailment And I'm the type who sets a mousetrap and hopes a mouse doesn't get caught because the removal and disposal of the body is, well, difficult.

Anyway, the scientist calls up Mighty Mouse Labs Inc.: "Hey, Joe.

Can you send me 50 mice with herniated discs?

Thanks, pal.

Need 'em ASAP." "I'll see what I can do, Doc.

Got a really big order for some anemic little rascals right now." Old Yours Truly here has no intention of getting into a discussion of whether the use of animals in medical research is right or wrong.

I do want to ask, with all these really esoteric production procedures of mice with various ailments, if they have been able to get one of the little scudders to develop the common cold.

And come up with a drug.

That's the mouse all of us stuffy-headed people would love.

Study Size Taints Findings On ICDs (genetics news)

... Memories, Up In Smoke Long-term marijuana users made decisions much more slowly and recalled words more poorly than non-pot smokers, according to a study published today in the journal Neurology.Scientists in Greece gave tests to people involved in a drug-abuse program in Athens.

They compared 20 long-term users of marijuana with 20 short-term users and 24 subjects who had used marijuana at least once in their life, but not in the past two years.Pot smokers performed poorly on many cognitive tests, the researchers said.

For instance, on a test that measures the ability to make decisions, 70 percent of long-term users had an impaired performance, compared with 55 percent of short-term users and 8 percent in the control group.

When asked to remember a list of words, non-users remembered about 12 of 15 on average.

That compared to 9 for short-term users and 7 for long-term users.
