OF GREEN MONKEYS and, CHRONIC PAIN
During the last few years hardly a day has passed in which a university lab or a company hasn't announced the discovery of a new disease-associated gene or of the genetic manipulation of one organism or another. Those announcements almost always end with statements like this: "This discovery is very important because it indicates that a possible cure for this or that disease is on sight." Thus, whenever you read that news you think that the problem, whatever it is, is either solved or about to be solved. What worries me, is that a lot of people rushes to make such kind of announcements before they completely understand what they are doing.

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?

Acclimation - Why Did My Plant Die? Redux
Plants die for myriad reasons. Winter injuries, of various kinds, are high on the list. We can all understand why tender plants die when it gets too cold for them, but why do our supposedly hardy plants join the list of winter injuries and fatalities? Come with me on a visit to the secret life of plants to find out...

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?

FUNTIONAL GENOMICS: GENOMES AT WORK
After the groundbreaking gene-splicing experiment of Paul Berg in 1972, Molecular Biology exploded. Soon everybody was cloning genes, the biological barriers between all kind of biological barriers were broken with transgenic experiments, the amounts of DNA bases sequenced per day went past the 10,000 in less than five years, and the duplication of DNA in the lab was increased to never undreamed of speeds thanks to the technique of PCR. Soon scientists realized that working one gene at a time was an extremely slow work and the idea was came up: “let's sequenced the whole genome.” Thus was born The Human Genome Project (HGP)and a new science Genomics. Here we will talk about genomes at work.,After the groundbreaking gene-splicing experiment of Paul Berg in 1972, Molecular Biology exploded.
