Gene therapy presents the potential to permanently repair a disease at the most rudimentary level, the genome.
Telomeres are crucial in ensuring our DNA gets adequately copied when cells divide
Imagine a world where we can age without getting old.

If you want to keep up with the latest information about stem cells without decoding the language in scientific journals, you can add these stem cell news sites to your bookmarks. These sites are news reports from mixed wire services
Presidents William J. Clinton and George W. Bush appointed panels to investigate, report, and make recommendations on ethical practices for research in several areas of biology and medicine, including stem cells. Both the Clinton Administration’s National Bioethics Advisory Commission and
American Society of Reproductive Medicine is a professional association. Its Website asrm.org provides a great deal of information for patients seeking fertility treatments. Fact sheet topics run the gamut from factors that affect fertility, such as weight, smoking, cancer, and
In 2005, Congress and President George W. Bush reauthorized federal funding for the National Bone Marrow Program marrow.org. They added a national registry for umbilical cord blood donations http://blood cell.transplant.hrsa.gov. These registries were named after Floridas Congressman, who first proposed
The National Institutes of Health clinical trials registry clinicaltrials.gov provides information on treatments and therapies being tested for specific diseases or health conditions. Not every trial is registered, but this site offers the most comprehensive listing; of tens of thousands
University of California–San Diego Stem Cell Initiative, located at http://stemcells.ucsd.edu, is a great place to find links to news (https://stemcells.ucsd.edu/events/index.html) and information about stem cells, as well as articles and papers on bioethics and links to bioethics sites. Check out
It’s a great article, but please take it with a grain of salt. I believe telomeres are a product of aging, not aging itself. Bill Andrews summarizes in 19 minutes his research on telomeres, aging, and the cure for aging.
Follistatin is a protein that our body makes naturally. Your body uses it to control metabolism, grow muscle, and boost fertility. Increasing follistatin can help you put on muscle quickly and may help you burn a significant amount of body fat.
Myostatin is a protein found almost exclusively in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), where it is active both before and after birth. This protein typically limits muscle growth, ensuring muscles do not grow too large. The MSTN gene provides instructions for making
Aging is part of life but is getting older a requirement? Understanding why we age or what causes aging is a puzzle scientists are still attempting to solve. Hypotheses abound: is oxidative stress damaging our DNA? Is glucose to blame?
