Carol W. Greider: A Brief Biography

Instead of losing telomeres after each reproduction, the cells replenish, or lengthen, the telomeres using an enzyme called telomerase.

George Gey was the head of tissue culture at Hopkins and was determined to grow the first immortal human cells. Researchers in 1943 proved an immortal

The length of the telomere indicates age-related diseases, unhealthy lifestyle, and longevity in the lifespan.

Margaret Sanger hero? Or has her enemies changed her true motives? Some say she was out to better the world, but some even would argue she was out to destroy a whole race, throughout Margaret Sanger’s childhood, her intentions only were to achieve a positive evolutionary uplifting, with aging did she lose this true goal in making the world better? Could it have been her true intentions to choose the targets she did for her desires of which she was planning to transform the world or was there more? There were a lot of controversy and issues surrounding Margaret Sanger specifically what she truly was out to do, but there is always going to be lying within the truth.

McCormick funded the research, that yielded successful results that were declared in 1956 and authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1960. In the Odyssey, Odysseus thought about a way to end the Trojan war which was to create a huge horse and leave it outside of the Trojans gate. He had put Soldiers in the horse which were ready to strike and kill, as the Trojans who had thought they had won were all sleeping after a long night of partying, so that night the Soldiers came out of the horse and killed all of the Trojans. Margaret Sanger is related to Odysseus because she thought of a way to control the lives of pregnant women who needed a contraceptive. And she had succeeded and finally someone created the pill she had dreamt of long

Margaret Sanger is one of the top ten most influential women in united states history for her role as an American Birth Control Activist. Margaret fought adamantly for women’s rights throughout her life, becoming the first to open a Birth Control Clinic in the U.S.

Margaret Sanger was born in Corning, New York on September 14, 1879 [3] as Margaret Louise Higgins. [1] Her father, Michael Higgins, originally studied phrenology and other medical practices, but eventually moved to being a stone cutter. Her mother, Anne Higgins, was born in Ireland, and her family moved to Canada during the Potato Famine. In 1869 Michael married Anne and she went through 18 pregnancies, only 11 of which lived. [3] Margaret was the sixth child in this long line and spent her time doing chores and looking after the younger children. Her older two older sisters supported her when she started attending school at Claverack College and Hudson River Institute. [2] When her mother was 50 years old, she passed away and Margaret blamed her mother 's frequent childbearing and poverty for her death. At the age of 21, Margaret started taking classes at the White Plains Hospital as a nurse probationer. Not even two years later, in 1902, she married William Sanger and quit her schooling. Later in 1913, Margaret and William filed for divorce but it wasn’t finalized until 1921. [13] She went on to marry Noah Slee in 1922.

This case study revolves around the video case “Curing Aging,” a CBC news broadcast by Kelly Crowe who interviews David Rollo’s, professor of the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., British gerontologist Aubrey de Grey of Cambridge, and Ear Fee of Mississauga, Ont. In the video case, there are three approaches. First, Prof. David Rollo and his team have a mice-experiment in his biology laboratory which feeding one of the mice with a cocktail of supplements, including B

Vivian Maier ( February 1, 1926-April 21,2009 ) was a street photographer born in New York City. Vivian spent most of her youth in France but returned to the U.S. where she worked as a nanny and caregiver for the rest of her life. Sometime in 1949, Vivian began playing with her first photos. Vivian used a Kodak Brownie box camera, an amateur camera with only one shutter speed, no focus control, and no aperture dial. The viewer screen is tiny, and for the controlled landscape or portrait artist, this would impose a wedge between Vivian and her intentions due to the cameras in inaccuracy. In 1952, Vivian purchases a Rolleiflex camera. For most of her stay in New York, she spends with this family until 1956, when she makes her final move to the

Furthermore, this book had some strong characters that wanted to change in their community. Especially, young adults. In today’s society nobody rarely does that. The only big impact that happened in Maryland, was in Baltimore when Freddie Gray was murdered. Later, Baltimore became a riot to get justice for Freddie Gray, but violence was not the key. Therefore, by reading this book, I have learned about a girl called, Christi Steiffer. She’s fourteen years old. She was part of many organizations, such as, ACLU, GLSEN, Human Rights Campaign, and NOW. She has written about when she was being harassed while walking to the library.

One of the most interesting things I read in this book is Steve Horvath’s work (p116). He came up with an algorithm that tells you the age of tissues with surprising accuracy (within a few years) based on the methylation of the DNA. His algorithm even confirmed an age of zero in stem cells. These discoveries are incredible to me, because we already possess the capability of upregulating or downregulating various cellular processes with great precision and accuracy. Who says we can’t manipulate cells to methylate their DNA in a way that reverses the aging process, or at least stops it? Later in the book, it was mentioned that a goal of a company called Human Longevity (p117) was to make 100 years old the new 60 years old. This doesn’t seem too impossible given this knowledge and our

Combining technology, medical research and his many other diverse talents, Jason has joined forces with the distinguished research entity, Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence Research Foundation(SENS).

The major thing that Carol W. Greider discovered was the enzyme telomerase. This Organelle is what scientists believe that controls the

Telomeres are directly correlated to the aging of a human body. Although some people might think that shorter telomere lengths are detrimental, the natural shortening of these telomeres are essential to healthy and normal aging. It is natural for cells to divide through mitosis, but each time cells are split telomeres are lost through the process. This is why the telomere maintenance system was evolved to protect the ends of chromosomes (Prescott, Kraft, & Chasman, 2011). Every time a cell is divided, its telomeres are weakened, and stress can accelerate this weakening, and biologically age the person. As a
