In other words, and to quote a past FDA commissioner, "Nicotine addiction ... is a pediatric disease."
And then you would be one of hundreds of millions of people with a genetic disease, such as sickle cell anemia or progeria or muscular dystrophy or Tay-Sachs disease.
Grievous genetic diseases caused by point mutations are especially frustrating, because we often know the exact single-letter change that causes the disease and, in theory, could cure the disease.
Led by Nicole Gaudelli, a former post doc in the lab, we set out to develop this second class of base editor, which, in theory, could correct up to almost half of pathogenic point mutations, including that mutation that causes the rapid-aging disease progeria.
Can you spot the problem with this headline: "Study shows new drug could cure cancer" Since the subjects of the study were mice, we can’t draw conclusions about human disease based on this research.
This is the story of sickle-cell disease.
Sickle-cell disease affects the red blood cells, which transport oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues in the body.
But in sickle cell disease, a single genetic mutation alters the structure of hemoglobin.
This keeps oxygen from reaching a variety of cells, causing the wide range of symptoms experienced by people with sickle-cell disease.
Researchers have been able to trace the origins of the sickle cell mutation to regions historically ravaged by a tropical disease called malaria.
Today, most people with sickle-cell disease can trace their ancestry to a country where malaria is endemic.
As these tools become available in the areas most affected by malaria and sickle cell disease, we can improve the quality of life for more patients with this adverse adaptation.
People with conditions such as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, stroke and oral cancer, amongst many other conditions.
And this is why that’s not entirely a good thing: because over the age of 65, your risk of getting Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease will increase exponentially.
By 2050, there’ll be about 32 million people in the United States over the age of 80, and unless we do something about it, half of them will have Alzheimer’s disease and three million more will have Parkinson’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease starts when a protein that should be folded up properly misfolds into a kind of demented origami.
Interestingly enough, other neurologic diseases which affect very different parts of the brain also show tangles of misfolded protein, which suggests that the approach might be a general one, and might be used to cure many neurologic diseases, not just Alzheimer’s disease.
If you want to lower your risk of Parkinson’s disease, caffeine is protective to some extent; nobody knows why.
They lead to Parkinson’s disease.
As far as protecting yourself against Alzheimer’s disease, well, it turns out that fish oil has the effect of reducing your risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
You should also keep your blood pressure down, because chronic high blood pressure is the biggest single risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.
It’s also the biggest risk factor for glaucoma, which is just Alzheimer’s disease of the eye.
And it suggests that the disruption of deep sleep is an underappreciated factor that is contributing to cognitive decline or memory decline in aging, and most recently we've discovered, in Alzheimer's disease as well.
And if increasing your risk for the development of cancer or even Alzheimer's disease were not sufficiently disquieting, we have since discovered that a lack of sleep will even erode the very fabric of biological life itself, your DNA genetic code.
In contrast, those genes that were actually upregulated or increased by way of a lack of sleep, were genes associated with the promotion of tumors, genes associated with long-term chronic inflammation within the body, and genes associated with stress, and, as a consequence, cardiovascular disease.
And vitiligo is basically my immune system that feels that my melanin which is what makes color in your skin, thinks that my melanin is a disease, something similar to the common cold, so it fights it off, and that makes my skin turn white.
One simple vitamin can reduce your risk of heart disease.
New drug prolongs lives of patients with rare disease.
Previous research has shown that people with naturally high levels of healthy cholesterol have lower rates of heart disease.
So what makes this headline misleading: "Healthium reduces risk of heart disease."
