Vitamin E is considered as anti-ageing vitamin.
Is it a fact or a myth?

      "High technology and human tragedy; luck and persistence;
      altruism and competition -- they all come together in this
      absorbing tale of medical detection that spans decades and
      crosses continents . . . An exciting story that reveals
      much about how science is done -- and that says something
      affirmative about the human spirit as well."
                           -- Kirkus Review (May 1, 1993)


In the late 1800's, in the Ukrainian town of Ekaterinoslav, Hannah,
a woman only in her forties, began suffering from progressive memory
loss and eventually became unable to care for herself.  What seemed
an isolated incident remained unexplained at her death in the
1890's.  Years later, Hannah's Grandson Charles, a physician, spurred
by his painful observations that many members of his family were
all suffering from the same disease, began charting the
family's medical history over five generations.  In 1985, when
this pedigree -- one of the most extensive of its kind -- fortuitously
fell into the caring hands of neurologist Dr. Daniel Pollen, Hannah's
family would find themselves immersed in one of the most enduring
scientific searches of the century -- the quest for the Alzheimer's
disease genes.

HANNAH'S HEIRS: The Quest for the Genetic Origins of Alzheimer's
Disease by Daniel Pollen (June 24, 1993/ 296 pgs / $25.00) is
the inspiring, true story, of a courageous family and their efforts
to confront and overcome a "personal biological Holocaust."  The
story chronicles the way in which Alzheimer's was first identified,
how this disease has perplexed the modern scientific community, and
how researchers have come closer to finding the cause and treatment
of Alzheimer's disease.  Set within the larger context of the efforts
to solve the mysteries of this disease, HANNAH'S HEIRS is a gripping
story of one family's descendants caught in a race against this mind-
altering affliction, not knowing whether they will succumb to, or
escape, its overwhelming grasp.

Over the course of 150 years, Pollen traces several hundred of Hannah's
remarkable descendants, and reveals this unique family's extraordinary
courage and their remarkable contributions to science and to humanity.
He gives a clear account of the advances in modern molecular genetics
and the neurological sciences as he follows researchers in these
fields as they race to solve the remaining mysteries of Alzheimer's
disease.

Pollen presents the foundations of modern genetic research, from
Gregor Mendel's classic discovery of genes, to Alois Alzheimer's
work on the brains of presenile dementia victims, to Watson and
Crick's double helix model for the structure of DNA.
At the same time, Pollen offers a penetrating look at the ongoing
conflicts involved in scientific research, revealing how intense
competition for prestige and funding has driven some scientists
to hoard precious cell lines.  These practices have impeded efforts
to discover both the causes and the treatments of Alzheimer's in
the shortest possible time.

Pollen concludes this story with the recent dramatic breakthrough in
Alzheimer's research on September 21, 1992 when Peter St. George-Hyslop
decisively linked the abnormal gene among the afflicted of Hannah's
family to a marker on a long arm of chromosome 14. This finding has
established evidence of a connection between familial Alzheimer's
disease to chromosome 14 and suggests that there will be further
sightings on this strand.  Research has shown that the chromosome
14 linkage site comprises the major locus of the majority of families
with early-onset Alzheimer's disease genes.  These findings have
opened the door to early genetic testing for at-risk relatives
of Alzheimer's patients and could possible lead to a gene
mutation to prevent the disease to at-risk relatives in the future.


HANNAH'S HEIRS is a story for those who have seen first hand the horrors
of Alzheimer's and are concerned with the genetic path of this
disease and it is for those interested in a modern scientific mystery
story with strong historical roots.  Pollen's is an engrossing
and inspiring account of this genetic abnormality and its affect on
one family that will grab hold and take the reader on a journey
through the spiritual and scientific world.  In the word's of Ben,
Hannah's great-grandson, "This is a story that had to be told.  Our
aspirations were transcendent, but because it involved people it 
could not be told without tears."

From owner-ageing@net.bio.net Tue Aug 31 23:00:00 1993
Path: biosci!NET.BIO.NET!kristoff
From: kristoff@NET.BIO.NET (David Kristofferson)
Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.ageing
Subject: IMPORTANT BIOSCI INFORMATION
Message-ID: <9309010900.AA07258@net.bio.net>

Three important items follow: BIOSCI archive searching by e-mail, the
BIOSCI FAQ, and the BIOSCI User Address Directory form.  If you have
not yet listed yourself in our e-mail address directory, please take a
few minutes to complete and return the form below.  If your address
information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us an
updated form.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIOSCI/bionet Manager

				kristoff@net.bio.net



	  **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES WITH WAISMAIL ****

E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail
e-mail server.  For instructions send the message

help

to waismail@net.bio.net.  Leave the Subject: line blank.  Other
methods of searching the archives via WAIS and gopher are described in
the BIOSCI FAQ.


       **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET ****

New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked
Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI.  The FAQ provides details on how
to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from
net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/biosci.FAQ.  It may also be
requested by sending e-mail to biosci@net.bio.net (use plain English
for your request).  The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month
to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the
posting of the BIOSCI information sheet.


	       **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY ****

Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information
to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so.

Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the
BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to
be listed in our database.  The database serves as a directory that
enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the
BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information
about our users.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS and waismail access
(waismail is our WAIS e-mail server, more below) and will also be
available for access via other gopher sites if they wish to permit it.
The raw unindexed data is available for FTP from net.bio.net and is
atomized sufficiently to allow import into your local RDBMS should you
so desire.

Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form
below and return it to either of the following two addresses
(whichever is more convenient for you).  Thanks in advance for taking
the time to complete and return the form.

Addresses for returning forms         Location        Network
-----------------------------         --------        -------
biovote@net.bio.net                   U.S.A.          Internet/BITNET
biovote@daresbury.ac.uk               U.K.            JANET


	     MAKING SURE THAT YOUR INFORMATION IS CURRENT

This notice will be mailed bimonthly to each newsgroup.  You should
check our WAIS source or waismail e-mail server from time-to-time to
see if your address information is still up-to-date.  Send the message

help

to waismail@net.bio.net for instructions on using waismail.  Leave the
Subject: line in your message blank.


		  Using Gopher to complete the form
                  ---------------------------------

If you don't want to use a text editor, you can also use Dan
Jacobson's gopher site to fill out the address database form as
follows.  Otherwise skip this section on gopher and proceed to the
instructions for filling out the form below.

> To add yourself to the database just point your
> gopher client at merlot.welch.jhu.edu and select the following:
> 
> -->  15. Searching For Biologists/

	    IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Please enter all responses after the : on each line, leaving one (1)
blank space after the : (i.e., before the start of your text).

Please do NOT extend your responses past the end of each line (80
characters) or alter any of the field identifiers such as "first name: ". 
Several lines are provided at the end of the form for comments, but,
please adhere to the line length restriction.

On the date: line, please enter the date in the DD-MM-YY format, e.g.,
05-05-93 for 5 May 1993.  This line will tell others when the
information was last updated.  Please be sure to include the 0's for
single digit days or months, e.g., 05-05-93, not 5-5-93.

Note that the "e-mail network: " line below is for specifying, e.g.,
"Internet," "BITNET," "EARN," "JANET," or whatever other network that
your computer may be on.

If you are uncertain about any field, please feel free to leave it
blank, but please DO NOT DELETE the field identifier from the form!

In the first field below, "New information or Update ...", please
enter "N" if this is the first time that you have registered in the
directory or "U" if you are correcting a listing that you sent to us
previously.

The comment: lines may be used for anything that you like but PLEASE
DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM THE FORM OR ALTER THEM.  One suggested use is
to list the names of the newsgroups in which you participate.  Please
use the MAILING LIST name (see below - the latest version of the list
can be requested from biosci@net.bio.net) instead of the USENET name
even if you don't participate by e-mail.  WAIS might get confused by
the periods in the USENET names.  This allows one to retrieve via WAIS
or waismail the list of participants in a particular group.

For example:

comment: ARABIDOPSIS PLANT-BIOLOGY BIONEWS

On the comment: lines
