SCIENTISTS GENE HACK HAMSTERS INTO HYPER-AGGRESSIVE MONSTERS<\/a><\/p>\n

Hamster Brawl<\/h2>\n

Scientists say that a little gene hacking turned adorable hamsters into vicious monstrosities.<\/p>\n

Researchers at Georgia State University may have published the\u00a0scientific understatement of the year<\/a>\u00a0when saying that their CRISPR experiment with hamsters \u201cfound that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than previously thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using the revolutionary gene editing tech, the GSU neuroscience team discovered that knocking out a receptor of vasopressin \u2014 a hormone associated with aggression, communication, and social bonding in both humans and hamsters \u2014 instead seemed to supercharge the cute rodents\u2019 worst instincts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipated that if we eliminated vasopressin activity, we would reduce both aggression and social communication,\u201d\u00a0GSU neuroscience researcher H. Elliott Albers said in a statement. \u201cBut the opposite happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement that the scientists specifically chose Syrian hamsters, which are known for their aggression, because they \u201cprovide a powerful model for the studies of social behavior because their social organization is far more similar to humans than that observed in mice.\u201dThe GSU team was\u00a0surprised to find that their attempts to turn down the aggression in the gene-hacked hamsters made them both more aggressive\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0more social \u2014 a nightmarish-sounding scenario that evokes Gremlin-esque playground bullies.<\/p>\n

These \u201ccounterintuitive\u201d findings have suggested \u201ca startling conclusion,\u201d Albers said in the statement \u2014 that neural receptors and the behaviors with which they\u2019re associated may not be able to be turned on and off individually, and that attempts to do so may be fraught.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping gene-edited hamsters was not easy,\u201d Albers concluded in yet another understatement. Hopefully they\u2019ll do a bit more thinking before trying to do this sort of experiment on humans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
