چکیده
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.

1986). It is due to the duplication of a critical region of chromosome 21 involving a potentially large number of genes (Epstein, 1987). The roles these genes may play in human neurodegenerative diseases are mainly unknown. To dissect the effects of these genes one may apply single gene manipulation molecular techniques. Transgenic technology, for instance, allows one to express a candidate gen...
