of Texas's Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, who led the research, said,
"This could provide a key to understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging and
opens up new areas to the potential therapy for multiple age-related diseases in
humans."
...Kuro-o and his colleagues plan to inject the substance into normal mice to see whether it extends their life spans and to measure the substance in humans to determine whether levels of the protein are correlated with longevity.

thimble-like caps to the ends of chromosomes to protect them from damage and

institutions, including the University of Massachusetts (Lowell) and Triton
BioSystems, are working to prepare the TNT system for human clinical trials, and
expect to submit an application to the FDA in 2005.

of Missouri-Columbia researcher, his colleagues, and a very special printing

they would lose the ability to speak, another minute they would speak easily but
would make odd linguistic errors and so on. A number of researchers started to
look into the possibilities, but one in particular intrigued Snyder: that people
undergoing transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, could suddenly exhibit

most often appear in autistic people.
