Mice with Stuffy Noses--A Medical Breakthrough?

This article describes the latest in perverse, "Frankensteinian" abuse of adorable living things by scientist.  But this time there's a twist--scientists have finally made an abomination of nature specifically for people like me.  For years I have suffered the debilitating effects of chronic sinusitis due to a little extra flab in my nasal passages.  

These little mice are genetically engineered to function as model organisms with chronic sinus problems so that scientists can better understand the causes and potential treatment of this common condition.
