PHIL OSBORN SAID: "...Thus, they utterly rejected out-of-hand any
arguments for the existence of a "death gene," or "aging clock." Thus, no
research followup on Denkla's work..."

CYMM SAYS: Well the genes that regulate somatostatin come close to being a
"death gene". Somatostatin which is upregulated as we grow older... has been
called "enzymatic cyanide"; it throws a spanner into almost any bochemical
works.
