Cautious Encouragement. The Michigan team, led by Dr. Robert Nalbandian of Blodgett Memorial Hospital in Grand Rapids, owes its discovery to the work of another researcher, Makio Murayama of the National Institutes of Health. Murayama discovered that the sickle-cell shape is caused by an abnormal bonding between hemoglobin molecules in the red cells. Using this knowledge, Nalbandian's team decided to try urea, a waste substance produced by the normal human liver and excreted in the urine. As they knew, urea can dissolve certain types of molecular bonds. Their experiment worked: urea broke the bond between the hemoglobin...
...Nalbandian's team is cautiously optimistic about its discovery. Earlier attempts to treat sickle-cell anemia with alkalis and antihistamines either failed or produced undesirable side effects. But Nalbandian's treatment, tested on 25 patients at four major hospitals, has thus far proved safe and effective...
According to John Nalbandian, research fellow in dental medicine, the study centered on changes in the degree of transparency in the dentin or solid portion of the root of the tooth. When examined beneath the electron microscope, thin sections of dentin showed an accumulation of minerals from which the age of the individual could be determined within an accuracy range of 7.9 years...
Changes in the root portion of the teeth, said Nalbandian, appear to be the most biological age change...
