http://www.bbc.co.uk Bang Goes the Theory's Liz Bonnin recently used mitochondrial DNA to trace her ancestry right back to the earliest humans. It's a subject co-presenter Dr Yan Wong knows plenty about, and a great excuse for him to meet up with his old tutor Prof Richard Dawkins. The pair collaborated on a book, The Ancestor's Tale, and here they chat about one of its main themes: how lineages of different genes can reveal surprisingly different histories.

In his case his ability to see clearly was being undermined by age-related macular degeneration (AMD.) As conventional medicine could offer little hope of significantly turning his condition around, Sam sought out pioneering physician and stem cell medicine expert, Dr

The McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine was established at University Health Network in 2003 with a generous donation from Rob and Cheryl McEwen, which they matched in 2006 with a second donation. The McEwen Centre's vision is to be a world-renowned centre for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. To achieve this ambitious goal, the team of McEwen Investigators is working together to accelerate the development of more effective treatments for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and spinal cord injury.

A sizable fraction of patients suffering from epilepsy, and most patients with Dravet Syndrome, cannot control their seizures with drugs. Research in animals shows that shutting off a gene called SCN8A can raise the threshold of excitability for neurons, thus lowering susceptibility to seizures

Man is divided into three main categories throughout the world: Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro. It is interesting to note that the great apes are also broadly divided into three main groups: the gorilla, the chimpanzee, and the orangutan. Both the Negro and the gorilla have skin that is black in color.
