...prominent politicians exchange bitter words over the appearance of "rats" in a G.O.P. campaign ad, we at Dartboard would like to remind our peers of a Rodentia problem of a different nature: Dirty mice...
...furry type, mind you. We're talking about computer mice. The white, plastic type who reside in labs like Maxwell Dworkin and the Science Center. Each day, they bolt across their pads, from one corner to the other, dragging, dropping, zooming, clicking, clicking, never resting...
...works by reducing protein breakdown and stimulating cell production. Studies in mice have shown that IGF-1 increased muscle strength up to 27%, and even at a cost of $3,000 a month, what athlete doesn't want to be Mighty Mouse? There's no test yet to detect...
Inside the crawl space, Brennan also found dryer lint clinging to the walls. "There's a lot of moisture dumping in here from the dryer too," he says. "And we've got some rodent poop by these holes around this ventilation duct." Mice can pass through a 3/8-in. hole, he says, and "they will come back to the house from two miles away if you don't kill them."

...SWITCH In the country's ongoing battle with blubber, researchers have discovered that a protein called Wnt-10b controls fat formation. Wnt-10b inhibited fat precursor cells in mice from becoming full-fledged fat, while, remarkably, cutting off Wnt-10b turned even premuscle cells into flab. Humans also produce Wnt-10b, so further study into what regulates the protein may someday lead to the development of long-awaited antiobesity drugs...
