Telomeres are the endcaps on chromosomes, and telomeric shortening is thought to govern the number of times a cell can divide. Ruth Chan and a team of Hong Kong-based researchers studied  976 Chinese men and 1,030 Chinese women, ages 65+, surveying their dietary habits via a food questionnaire. Overall, only tea consumption was associated with telomere length.

Dipnarine Maharaj, MD

Dr. Dipnarine Maharaj is the Medical Director and founder of the South Florida Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant Institute, one of the few completely outpatient bone marrow/stem cell transplant facilities in the country. He was also involved in the establishment of bone marrow/ stem cell transplant programs at the University of Miami and for other communities in Florida. He has been involved with clinical research studies using stem cells in the areas of cardiac regeneration, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer treatments. Most recently, he has secured an Investigator-initiated IND from the FDA to study a novel treatment of solid tumors using only healthy white blood cells. His innovative approach to medicine has earned him international recognition.

At the upcoming A4M WORLD STEM CELL CLINICAL SUMMIT, to be held in conjunction with theAnti-Aging Conference: Clinical Applications for In-Office Procedures in San Jose, California (September 9-12, 2009), Dr. Maharaj will present, Stem Cells and Bone Marrow Transplants: Current Medical Applications and Clinical Studies in Regenerative Medicine, on Saturday, September 12th.
