9. This kind of studies are
incredibly important at the
moment, because we can
not only increase our
lifespan but also taking
new steps into genetic
therapy, stoping the
division cicle and so,
developing new treatments
for terminal diseases.
11. Glimmer of hope for patients
with leukodystrophies
DEGENERATION OF THE WHITE
MATTER IN THE BRAIN.
Caused by imperfection in the
growing or formation of the mielin.

with leukodystrophies
"The cells' lack of ability to produce RNA polymerase III
compromises the genetic program controlled by this
enzyme, thereby inducing a particularly harmful effect in
specialized nerve cells."
14. Like the autors said, this
research serve as a way of
knowing how is the right way
to treat therapeuticaly a
patient with this
leukodystrophy, to make new
diagnosis and as well to
‘‘light on the molecular
mechanism’’ of this one.
