Science Daily has so much progress today, I don't know where to begin.
- Brain seems to reset biological clock based on temperature,
possible applications for better solutions for jet lag.

- Demonstration that the use of RNAi (RNA interference) can work
as a therapy to reduce telomerase activity in cancer cells (and
may end up developing into an anti-cancer therapy).

- Stem cell loss appears to contribute to atheroclerosis development.

[Side note: Gradual stem cell loss may be a consequence of
defects in the overall genetic program, particularly DNA repair
over decades of life.]
- Gene to protect against Irish Potato Blight found (leading to it
becoming more and more difficult to resist GMO foods... with or
without labels!).
