Microbacterium hatanonis sp. nov., isolated as a contaminant of hairspray
Scientists isolate bacteria from hairspray!
I know its not unheard of to have growth in cosmetics, but I just wonder whose idea it was to test the hairspray.
Paradoxical Facilitatory Effect of Low-Dose Alcohol Consumption on Memory Mediated by NMDA Receptors
Shutting your brain off every once in a while improves your memory.
"Epidemiological studies have suggested a negative correlation between alcohol intake and Alzheimer's disease. In vitro, ethanol negatively modulates NMDA receptor function. We hypothesized that chronic moderate alcohol intake leads to improved memory via adaptive responses in the expression of NMDA receptors and downstream signaling."
I'll drink to that!
