The finding suggests it may be possible to use drugs or other methods to achieve similar protection in normal-height adults, said study authors Valter Longo, a University of Southern California cell biologist, and Ecuadorian endocrinologist Jaime Guevara-Aguirre. http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20110217/hl_hsn/dwarfismmutationmayprotectfromcancerdiabetes
