...University of Washington. "So we'll be able to do a genetic fingerprint showing your potential future health history, and we'll have preventive measures that can circumvent whatever limitations your genes impose on you." Looking even further ahead, Haseltine anticipates the use of genes "to regenerate, replace and repair what's broken...
...cell makes a copy of itself by splitting in two. Some of these genes, known as oncogenes, stimulate cell division, while still others, called tumor-suppressor genes, damp it down. In their normal form, both types of genes work together, enabling the body to replace dead cells and repair damaged ones. But mutations in these genes--whether inherited or acquired through environmental insult--very quickly cause a cell to careen out of control, like a car with a stuck accelerator pedal and no brakes...
...reason or another, cannot be given TPA can increase their chances of survival and recovery by getting to an emergency room swiftly. Doctors can still give them blood thinners that may dislodge a stroke-causing clot. The outcome of some bleeding strokes can also be markedly improved by surgical repair of the blood vessel that is leaking into the brain...
...remember" where they are in the sequence of divisions they must go through. Certain "longevity assurance" genes then make sure that the cell population keeps dividing until the clock winds down. A newer theory champions the role of stress-response genes, which regulate the body's maintenance and repair functions. As yet, researchers are unsure whether these genes merely affect susceptibility to disease or actually control the aging processes...
