Rest of issue 1, 2004

By the abstracts:

"Watch Your Notch: A Link Between Aging and Stem Cell Fate?" is about Notch being sufficient to activate satellite stem cells and regenerate muscle in old mice. Maybe.  Want to read the rest.

"Why Use Telomerized Cells for Organ Transplantation?". I don't know what this one is about aside from the title. First page is a description of telomeres and telomerase.

"Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Concepts for Clinical Application ". A review of advances in regenerative medicine, by which I assume he means tissue regeneration.  Lots of citations. 

"Depigmentation and Rejuvenation Effects of Kinetin on the Aged Skin of Hairless Descendants of Mexican Hairless Dogs".  Something about kinetin, a cell reproduction inducer, clearing melanin granules and improving superficial signs of skin youth in old dogs.

"Hormetic Mechanisms of Anti-Aging and Rejuvenating Effects of Repeated Mild Heat Stress on Human Fibroblasts in Vitro". Repeated mild heat stress produces some supposedly good results in the protein profiles of fibroblasts.

"Someone's Knocking on the Laboratory Door". Didn't get to the meat.

"A New Age for Aging? Ethical Questions, Scientific Insights, and Societal Outcomes".  Ethics.

"Immunosenescence: What is It and What Can Be Done About It?". A summary of a session on immunosenescence at the British Society for Immunology 2003 conference. One talk on T cell disregulation and on the influence of cytomegalovirus on creating useless CD8 cells that hang around. Want to read the rest.
