End the week on a high?

"A multinational research project led by the Universities of Dundee and Glasgow has identified a genetic determinant of hypertension, which could inform treatment of the condition for thousands of patients. This new research has identified a common mutation of the genes which regulate the production of the essential hormones - aldosterone and cortisol - in the adrenal gland as being influential in the development of hypertension."

Happy weekend to one and all!
