And the physiology prize went to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak for their work on telomeres, the DNA caps that stop the ends of chromosomes either unravelling or sticking to one another.Dr Kao was working for the Standard Telecommunications Laboratories, an American-owned facility in Britain, at the time of his breakthrough.
Scientists don't fully understand what triggers this, but many researchers suspect the gradual shrinking of telomeres, the protective DNA caps on the end of chromosomes.
In 1999, the group reported that Dolly's telomeres, the DNA caps on the end of chromosomes, seemed shorter than normal--a possible sign that the cloning process had affected the life expectancy of her cells.
Forty-four-year-old Elizabeth Parrish claims to have received several unproven treatments, including muscle mass enhancement and therapy to lengthen protective DNA caps known as telomeres, a process associated with longer life spans in mice.
