BABIES WITH TWO MOTHERS, IS IT WRONG?
Last March the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in West Orange, New Jersey, reported in the Journal of Human Reproduction in the paper: “Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication,” that they had produced 16 babies that had two biological mothers and that here already 30 worldwide. This information caused concern in the medical community because it implicated the modification of the human genome. Before discussing the implications of this fact, let me tell you why and how it was done. ooplasmic transfer • ovule • oocyte • mitchondria • mitochondrial dna
MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH? In my previous articles I have told you about the ways they think life will be extended in the near future. They deal with the replacement of cells, organs or disease-related genes. However, those are solutions to the consequences of accidents, diseases and aging. Now I want to tell you about a series of experimental results that strongly indicates that the fountain of youth lies in a set of genes that regulate how we age. Thus, life could be extended if and when the molecular doctors learn how to modulate the action of those genes. aging • genes • gene therapy • diseases • dna
Cancer Treatment in Old Age Cancer is largely a disease of older people. As a person ages, molecular, cellular, and physiological changes in the body influence the development of cancer.
