Instead of mixing viral or bacterial DNA in a formula for injection, for example, scientists could insert it into soil bacteria. When the bacteria are taken up by the plant, therapeutic DNA material is stitched into the plant's genome. Another method of getting genes into plants is to coat tiny particles of tungsten or gold with foreign DNA, then shoot the particles directly into plant cells. Either way, the plant's cells start...
...everyone is convinced. Leonard Guarente, a specialist on aging from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, observes that "telomeres seem to be important in getting cells to divide in vitro, but the onus is to show that short telomeres affect aging in vivo. I don't think we know that yet." --By Clare Thompson...
