Next, she sent the purified genetic material to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where it was reduced to pure carbon pellets and split into different carbon isotopes by weight in a particle accelerator, allowing the researchers to calculate the ratio between carbon-12 and carbon-14. Interesting study but this was hugely expensive.
This is an important discovery but I cant say that it was worth the money if it was paid for from tax payer funds.

Would be interesting to know if aging and various diseases correlate to a diminution of rate of neuron cell replacement. If yes (as common sense suggests), it would beg the question of how to retard such diminution. Could be a road to dealing with age-related cognitive impairment.
