The young firebrands excoriated the prevailing French cinema and championed Hollywood directors like Howard Hawks, Samuel Fuller, George Cukor and Alfred Hitchcock. (Rohmer and Chabrol co-authored one of the earliest Hitchcock monographs.) Soon, their revolution in criticism spread to the screen. Godard made Breathless, Truffaut The 400 Blows.

But a better understanding of the G9a pathways could lead to the development of safer, more specific drugs. And studying the genes that control G9a itself could also help screen people at risk for cocaine addiction: those with naturally lower levels of the protein would be the ones to watch. Still, there's a lot to be learned even from further mouse studies - particularly if the work involves younger mice, unlike the adults used in Maze's research...
