...leap from a mouse study to a human study, of course - and an even bigger leap to consider developing a G9a-based treatment for addiction. The protein regulates so many genes that such a drug would almost certainly have unwanted and potentially deadly side effects. 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...

At least eight people were killed, including the nephew of the opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi. "It was the Iranian authorities' treatment of demonstrators over the Christmas period that made it clear to me that my conscience forbids me from continuing my job at the embassy," Heydari was quoted as saying by NRK.
