...phospholamban, or PLB, which they believed was responsible for heart failure, with mice that lacked the PLB gene. The resulting offspring did not develop heart failure. They also created mice carrying a defective form of PLB; in that experiment, the offspring produced by mating those mice with the mice bred to develop heart failure had a normal life span with no side effects, the researchers said. While there's no evidence yet of the gene in people, the team says that the finding could one day translate into a cure for human heart disease...

...scientists bred strains of mice with extra copies of a gene coded for a protein that can facilitate communication between neurons. Since one popular theory of memory relates this primary mental capacity to an organism's ability to make associations--say, between a bee's buzz and the pain of its bite--this enhanced communication might promote the recording of associations within the brain, thus creating memories...
