MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
Of all the procedures, gadgets and living parts been explored with the aim of extending human life, the one that I think has the most immediate promising future is provided by the exciting new field of Tissue Engineering, which is what I tell you about in this article.

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.

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
For centuries man has known that, beyond broken bones, the human body cannot be repaired. That is because there are no spare parts, and the body's defense system rejects any type of tissue not recognized as its own. Will animal organs be used to repair the human body?
