Can Aging Be Reversed

Pages: 5 (1399 words) Sources: 4 Document Type:Research Paper Document #:20527653

… a lot of money to engage in delaying treatments.
The first assumption—that aging cannot be reversed—has been challenged by a group of Japanese scientists who think they may have discovered a “switch” that can reverse the aging process. As Mack (2015) notes, “researchers in Japan have found … human aging may be able to be delayed or even reversed, at least at the most basic level of human cell lines.” Previous scientists had theorized that aging was the result of a mutation in the DNA structure. What the researchers in Japan discovered was that there … a kind of genetic breaker box in human cells.
The researchers tested the theory by isolating two genes that retained mitochondrial functionality. The scientists flipped the switches on the genes and were able to both create defects and restore the cells’ respiration. As Mack (2015) notes, “in ……

Electric Vehicle And The Environment

...Scientist The Issue of the EV: Is it Really Green and Good?
Do Teslas Make the World a Better Place
Introduction
The electric vehicle (EV) has arrived and the 21st century is poised to be the century of the EV. However, there is still a great deal of controversy and confusion about what EVs actually do for the environment and if they are really as “green” as they are purported to be. Chad Berndt, a writer for Teslarati (a pro-Tesla site), boasts that Teslas are the greatest thing for the world since sliced bread in his article “A Tesla is Greener Than You Think and Getting Greener.” However, James Ellsmoor, writing for Forbes, begs to differ and argues in his article “Are Electric Vehicles Really Better For The Environment?” that all the strip mining for rare earth materials and petroleum that goes into producing the plastics and parts for Teslas outweighs……

Stem Cell Transplants Treat Alzheimers And Parkinsons Disease

Pages: 5 (1386 words) Sources: 7 Document Type:Research Paper Document #:32127824

...Scientist Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia, while Parkinson’s disease is known as a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects significantly more men than women. The two disorders have some similar symptoms but are also very different. With regards to treatment, no standard intervention has been developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disorder. The only existing drugs are those that address some of the symptoms. Likewise, there is no standard therapy for those with Parkinson’s disease. But lifestyle changes, approved drugs, and surgical operations can be recommended to address symptoms. Nevertheless, stem cell research has shown a lot of promise in helping to restore and regenerate destroyed brain tissues and is, therefore, currently being tested to help treat brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. This work looks at what the evidence is saying about the efficacy of stem cell transplants approach in the treatment……
