X-Message-Number: 4849 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (Brad Templeton) Subject: Telomerase blocker developed? Date: Tue, 5 Sep 1995 06:52:11 GMT Message-ID: <> Recent news reports (see <> if you subscribe to our service) announce the development of a telomerase blocker. Aside from the obvious capabilities of this as a cancer cure (with the life-prolonging results that come from that) might this have other longevity consequences? Might we be able to temporarily turn on telomerase in parts of the body, for regeneration, and then block it where cancers develop or before they get too far? With this, and the reported artery clearing proteins from Italy, who knows how long a normal lifespan is going to become soon, even without mechanical nanotech. -- Brad Templeton, publisher, ClariNet Communications Corp.
