That kind of redesign isn't possible today, but it may not be far off. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School have already developed a way to equip a benign virus with genetic material that codes for muscle growth, and they have injected the virus into mice. The animals quickly bulk up by as much as 20%, becoming not just bigger but stronger. The researchers have developed other techniques to block cellular signals that would otherwise cause muscles to atrophy, allowing the new mass to be retained even without exercise...
...purpose of this research is not to take elite athletes to a new level," says physiologist Lee Sweeney, leader of the Pennsylvania team, "but to help them come back from injury faster." Nonetheless, similar techniques could theoretically be used for mitochondrial and cardiac redesign...
Harvard's vice president for finance and other central administrators discussed a redesign of the University-wide System for Travel and Reimbursement (STAR) with the Faculty Council Wednesday...
...promised us that the implementation of these systems would be easy, and it certainly hasn't been. One component of ADAPT, the travel reimbursement system, provides unacceptable performance, and a major redesign is underway. But most of the systems perform reasonably well, and we are learning to use their powerful features more effectively as time goes...
