Cellular Control Is Key
You'll excuse me, I hope, for continuing to belabor the point that advancing knowledge of cellular genetics and biochemistry - and the subsequent application of that knowledge to control our cellular processes - is one of the most exciting areas of mainstream medical science at the present time. The new technologies of bioinformatics are driving basic research ever faster; the closer we look at the mechanisms of our own cells, the closer we get to directly addressing the roots of disease, cancer and aging. Get thee hence and read what Randall Parker has to say about one small part of this process - steps on the road to reverse engineering the workings of stem cells.
