...Samani also says the telomere research offered no quick fixes and that telomere-based treatments were still a long way off. The reason for this is that telomeres - while potentially lowering the risk of heart disease - play a role in the development of cancer cells. "We all probably develop cancer cells that don't get past a few replications because of the effect of normal telomere shortening. If you make cells immortal by allowing them to replenish their telomeres, you may raise the risk of many nasty cancers considerably...

American family incomes now rise and fall much more sharply from year to year, and this is happening at the same time that public...

"We need to help vulnerable and at-risk families become the circles of nurture, protection and care they are intended to be," said Muriel Bamblett in a statement released Feb. 11. Bamblett was the chairperson of SNAICC until 2008 and is active on many boards concerning children, families and the indigenous community and one of three chairs for the inquest.
