NEW YORK - By attacking the same basic biology drug companies are targeting for new anti-fat drugs, researchers have genetically engineered mice with abilities far beyond those of normal rodents.

Mice missing a specific protein from their brains react to stress differently. The genetically engineered mice develop an imbalance in a hormone involved in stress responses, and during stressful situations, they behave as if they are depressed.

Scientists are raising the first hope of recovery from an autism-like disease that leaves thousands of girls unable to talk or walk &#151; with an experiment that erased symptoms of the disorder in genetically engineered mice.
