Document Summary
Males with female heart had 10% heart cells that were xy. Therefore xy stem cells homing to fix heart: melanoma (skin cancer, genxyme corp, **look at diagram in notebook pg. 8*: tissue engineering, can use stem cells, examples: Us policy relted to hesc: before 2001, no use of hesc, no federal money used, after 2001, 64 federally sponsored hesc lines established. Poor quality: can"t use federal money to develop new lines. Private money is o. k: consequences, brain drain . Experts leave us to more liberal countries (to conduct research) Separate institue privately funded: developed new lines, ex: harvard. Other developments: computers made out of nerve cells, department of defense funded, little energy needed (glucose, gene network sciences, cell wiring diagram, immortality, theories. Higher the stress = shorter the life. Yeast, c. elegans: sic2 gene may control longevity, when increased expression in yeast, longevity incases 30x.
