Genetically Modified Cows
Recently, scientists managed to genetically engineer cows in which this allele has been "knocked out". These cows may be resistant to developing BSE, or "mad cow".

MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
If you have read my previous six articles you know about all the scientific efforts that are being done that could lead to the expansion of the human life span. However, all of those are related to high biotech developments: Gene therapy, xenotransplantation, stem cells, artificial organs, human cloning and gene discoveries. Now, what would you say if life span could be increased 40% just by dieting? Wouldn’t it be ironic to spend all those zillions of dollars to find out that by saving them, that is, eating less you could get to be more than 150 years old?
