Genetic engineering offers new hope for preventing cirrhosis
Harvard Medical School scientists show telomerase gene delivery in mice reduces liver cell damage from cirrhosis. An international team also uses liver cell engineering to extend survival in rats with acute liver failure, hinting at gene therapy and donor cell strategies. Public education on organ donation and gene science is urged to reduce transplant waitlists.

Guardianship form helps older Texans name guardians
Legal Hotline for Older Texans explains the Designation of Guardian Before Need Arises. The form lets people disqualify untrustworthy guardians and name trusted executors to protect health care and property. A guardian battle involving an 87 year old woman shows the form's impact, as the son sought control and was deterred after the woman used the form and legal aid. Free help is available to those 60 and over at 1-800-622-2520.
