What do all cancers have in common? They start from one (or several) nuclear mutation(s). In the case of lifestyle non-inherited cancers the disease…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part VII OncoSENS

After a couple of previous articles we reached part VI – the most important of all (in my opinion) because a cell that divides itself in two also dilutes its original damage as well. Having a fresh supply of somatic cells derived from our own DNA would largely correct many of geriatrics diseases. Let’s find…… Continue reading How to engineer negligible senescence in humans – part VI RepleniSENS
