Quote:Rainer Reinscheid, 48, an associate professor of pharmaceuticals ...
Do you think this guy might have been sampling the inventory?
Looking at his Dept. of Pharmacology profile I notice this:
Quote:A knockout mouse lacking the OFQ precursor protein show Very recently we have identified a novel neuropeptide system (Neuropeptide S, NPS) in the brain that promotes arousal and anxiolytic-like effects.
Looks like something got left out. Here's what it probably should have said, from his faculty bio:
Quote:A knockout mouse lacking the OFQ precursor protein shows increased susceptibility to stress and impaired adaptation to repeated stress, but is resistant to the development of morphine tolerance. A malfunction of the OFQ system might thus be involved in the pathology of human psychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety or drug addiction.
More recently, we have identified a novel neuropeptide system (Neuropeptide S) in the brain that promotes arousal and anxiolytic-like effects.
His bio also misspells "Pharmaceutical" as "Pharmacuetical." Well, that's an easy mistake--unless you happen to work in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences! Seems like the kind of guy who would blame it on his secretary.
