Abstract:
A mutation in the FAAH gene that enhances endocannabinoid signaling has been difficult to decipher, as it exists only in humans. A new study reports a knock-in mouse expressing an identical mutation, bridging an important translational gap.

01:23Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs
1.4K
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
