* Sirtris was hoping to develop drugs that could treat diseases of aging‚ and in so doing had the potential to extend the lifespan of human beings. * The Sirtris team had‚ in fact‚ established a link between resveratrol‚ a compound found in red wine-producing grapes‚ and sirtuins‚ a newly discovered family of enzymes with links to improved longevity‚ metabolism and health in living things as diverse as yeast‚ mice and humans. Sinclair and Westphal were building Sirtris around the development

Cory King ENG 120 Sec. 02 Spring 2002 March 15‚ 2002 Cloning‚ and Stem Cell Research Technology has advanced a great deal within the past few years. We have learned so much information about animal’s genes and what can be done with them. However‚ with this new information brings new questions and arguments. So far‚ scientists have successfully cloned a sheep‚ a monkey‚ a bull‚ and are working on an endangered breed of ox‚ of course cloning animals and conducting research on those animals does

Lactoferrin also could be used potentially to help treat some auto-immune diseases. Sufferers of arthritis‚ multiple sclerosis‚ and even septic shock could benefit from Lactoferrin’s ability to keep the immune system in check and from over-reacting. In studies‚ it was found that Lactoferrin reduced the mortality of pigs introduced to septic shock by twenty five percent. It was also show to reduce the blood-toxin levels in rats in another study. Lactoferrin’s many properties‚ lowering inflammatory

Genes are the building blocks of life. They uniquely define each and every one of us‚ from our hair color to our ability to fight disease. For the past few decades‚ the study of genetics has given scientists an ability that we as a species never had before-- the ability to directly modify our genetic makeup. With this scientific breakthrough‚ the possibilities are endless with real world implications. On a darker note‚ this also means that genetic modification has the ability to adversely affect
