Baldness in Mice: Cured!

Baldness has been accidentally cured in mice!  Wait, there are bald mice?

Apparently a bunch of scientists were using super-stressed out bald mice to study the effects of stress on your gut by blocking a particular hormone.  I don't know if their ulcers went away, but the stressed mice grew all their hair back.  Check out details on the study here.

Not sure if it will lead to a baldness cure for humans (though I'm hoping!), but at least Mickey can stop wearing that stupid toupee.
But he'd still better pay Jimmy Conway his money.

Candy or Cocaine?

I'm Rat James, bitch!
Here's your SAT analogy test question for the day.
Males : Blow Pops :: Females : Blow
At least when it comes to rats.  Scientists have discovered that male rats prefer sweets to cocaine, while females went cuckoo for the Bolivian marching powder.  Read more about why scientists are getting rodents high in this article.
