Like father, like son

Abstract

Exposing male mice to nicotine or cocaine enables their male offspring to cope with high doses of either, which suggests that such paternal effects are generic, rather than being a response to a specific type of stress.

Keywords: chromosomes; epigenetics; genes; mouse; paternal effects; substance abuse.
