TL;DR: It is proposed that msP rats represent an animal model that largely mimics the human alcoholic population that due to poor ability to engage in stress‐coping strategies drink ethanol as a tension relief strategy and for self‐medication purposes.

TL;DR: The DNA spectrum corresponding to pollen residues in the colon fits with the hypothesis that the last journey of the Neolithic hunter/warrior was made through a subalpine coniferous forest to the site at over 3,200 m above sea level, where his mummified body was to be discovered 5,000 years later.

TL;DR: Exposure to cannabinoids during early stages of brain development can lead to irreversible, subtle dysfunctions in the offspring, and perinatal THC induced long‐lasting alterations of cortical genes related to glutamatergic and noradrenergic systems may account for the enduring cognitive impairment displayed by THC‐exposed offspring.

TL;DR: The DNA half-life in papyri is about 19-24 years, which means that the last DNA fragments will vanish within no more than 532-672 years from the sheets being manufactured, an indirect argument against the reliability of claims about the recovery of authentic DNA from Egyptian mummies and bone remains.

TL;DR: Tissue samples aseptically taken from the stomach and the colon of the mummy were utilized for DNA extraction, and the DNA was PCR-amplified, using primer pairs designed to bind to fragments of the 16s ribosomal RNA gene (16s rDNA) of a broad range of bacteria.
